Why is gross revenue per ride expected to go up in 2018? Is Uber planning to raise its rates?
Hmm, good question. Or I guess people could be taking longer more expensive rides? Or askewed growth with more expensive cities? I don't know.
How are they valued so high when they have yet to bring in a profit?! #BigGovtScam
Wait what? Number of Rides per User is 50? Once every week? for EVERYONE? That seems high.
I guess it must consider only active users. I wonder how that is defined.
