Here in China Uber has various subsidy programmes for drivers and customers. These eat into margins and make them negative for some (but probably not all) trips.

Example: a few weeks ago, I paid ~3USD for a 13km ride that took 90 minutes (due to Beijing traffic). The driver was definitely paid more than that for the ride.
