Is this documented anywhere?

yes ask any uber driver will show you a screenshot of Uber's cut. on short rides its actually pretty close to 50% in US
It's called "take rate" and it was reported in the S-1 and is reported in quarterly earnings for both companies. While some rides it might be 50%, it is far from 50% for either.
