I would say at this stage Uber really is just a money-sucking black box. The revenues they get from their commissions in established cities they pour into marketing and just flat out buying business in new cities. All existing drivers are working to expand Uber, and they do not benefit from that in any way. The point of a co-op would be to recapture the spread and put it back in drivers' and riders' pockets.
