Hm. I just got driven home from the bar for $4. It was an uber pool, but for the whole ten minute drive, nobody else was in the car. This was in silicon valley, a very mature market. This sort of thing is super common, where I get a deep discount on a 'pool' ride but I end up riding alone. The drivers tell me that they get a regular rate (on top of whatever the bonuses are) which is per-mile. The guy tonight said he thought he was making like $7 for the ride in question, just on the mileage. I... am pretty sure they are losing money on many pool rides. |

They can be losing money on many pool rides and still be making money on pool overall. I don't know whether they are.
