Reminds me of Uber right now, who is trying to sell something for less than it's worth.
Hopefully they get enough market share that they can actually switch around and make enough money to pay their drivers well.
- krisroadruck 7y agoEvery time I see this I wonder why people never mention the obvious follow-up. Which to me at least, is will a version of Uber that charges enough to be profitable and pay their drivers well still be an attractive product? It may still well be for short trips of a few blocks downtown, but for things like taking an Uber from the outskirts of town to downtown to avoid having to drive your car into the thick of traffic, the prices are already close to what I'm willing to pay for that convenience. Datum point of one but at a current round trip cost of $60+, raise the prices 50% and I'll either drive myself or just not go downtown.
