Why did Uber charge me more after the ride?

What do I do if the Uber fare increases after reaching the destination? The Uber fare is dependent on the distance, and time taken to complete the service. So, any change in the route taken, or time taken to complete (on account of say, a traffic jam) will change the calculated fare.
