I am curious, if the fares are subsidized, then how much Uber will earn? I can imagine that surge pricing makes them a lot of money, are they going to drive away surge pricing? What if it is 2am and uber asks for 400$ ( I am not American, so pardon my analogy) to go for a small distance?

Considering the rebellious attitude Uber has, I can imagine their city hall complaint as "this is how we will behave, else we will go out of your city like we did in Austin"

The Innisfil city website mentioned that there will be flat rate pricing to certain major destinations in town.
_certain major destinations_

This is the reason this isn't a public transport, there is no such thing as "certain major destination" when it comes to public transport!
