I just don't get where the money goes if that's true.

If I pay $10 for a ride, $7 goes to the driver, which covers all the cost for the car, gas, his wage etc.

$3 goes to Uber. What marginal costs do the have for my ride that are anywhere close to that?




16,000 employees. Salaries, benefits.

Global facilities and infrastructure.

Numerous exploratory business ventures, like Uber Eats.

What you're saying is that you've never built a $10 billion sales, global corporation before. Which is very understandable, few have.
