"optimizing growth and revenue" by subsidizing the operations. That isn't "optimization", it's sunk cost that will never be recovered. Uber is already withdrawing from Asian cities (eg Bangkok) where the price of taxis was close to cost, and in other cities (eg Melbourne), where Uber's flouting of the existing law has lead to deregulation, Uber is just another brand in the market. The price of a normal taxi hailed on the street and an Uber (I took Uber to/taxi from the city the other day, non peak, non surge) was literally within 5%.
