Right, so “discount” implies they subsidise drivers for the journeys? Eg Uber charges $1 per mile but driver receives $1.1 or sth? The org bloat is quite stagg

The org bloat is quite staggering for what is effectively a taxi app.
- fakedang 6y agoNo no. I meant that the effective cost of a ride (paying contractor + tech costs + employee costs + marketing per ride) is $1 a mile, but they give a discount that makes it effectively $0.9 a mile, and doing this on scale is effectively making them run operations at a loss unless they have market monopoly. Even a duopoly situation is unfavorable for them.
