Why am I always reading that Uber is not financially viable? I haven't seen anyone proven this to be true. Take my trip tonight for example. Sunday night, 7pm, 5.17 miles and 16 min ride cost 17$. If you calculate the the cost, gas: about .50$, driver time: at 50$/hr fro 16 min ride is about 13$. The total cost 13.50, Uber gets 3.5$ for my ride. This sounds very good to me.
