I have seen Grab’s (Grab is SEA Uber) motorbikes showing ads on mounted tablets, and their car drivers have tablets in the car that showed ads. On top of that the app showed GrabFoods ads with “food at your end location”. And the Grab app itself is filled with ads. It didn’t make the rides free though. |

I get those in France, too, with regular Uber. They try to get me to buy something or other on Uber Eats "for when I arrive". At like 2 in the morning. And no, I don't live in NY or somewhere with restaurants open 24/7.
They also have a share (or something, not sure how this works) in a bike-sharing scheme. So, I often get notifications while in the car like "oh, you could ask your driver to stop here and get a bike for the rest of your journey". Right. If I was willing to ride a bike, I'd already be on one. If I'm in your car, it's probably because it's pouring rain, or I'm too tired / drunk.
