Who got all this money? The developers? The drivers (uber paying drivers more than they collected from the passenger, back when they subsidized rides)?
The Uber Management people. You can be sure that the Uber management are laughing all the way to their banks. The suckers, the Uber drivers and Uber investors, not so much.
The passengers don't get any money. The driver got money from Uber and from the passenger. Even if a passenger got a completely free ride, that's the driver getting paid by Uber for a ride he wouldn't have gotten as easily otherwise. So I'd count it as the driver getting paid still by VC money.
