> $120 Billion valuation on $2.6 billion in annual revenue? That number is quarterly revenue (and as you say does not include the share the driver takes)

Great tool If I can feature request, would love to see city/local taxes accounted for, especially with the SALT deduction removed. Good work!!

>It's why places like Planet Fitness are able to offer $10/month unlimited memberships. That model is far different though For each Planet Fitness, much of the cost is upfront. Tha…

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-08-23/uber-is-t... To be fair, this doesn't (I believe) take into account if traditional taxis are still dominant in some countries

While I don't doubt the rest of the article, I will say as a former Uber intern (this past summer) the vast majority of us were not overworked. I (and most of my fellow Uber intern…

> Passengers don't share the ride with other customers. This is no longer true with Uber Pool and Lyft Line

Good point. I'd love if we had high speed rails in the US. I'd take it over a car everyday.

I wonder how autonomous driving will affect shorter flight commutes. I'll probably never take a car from Philadelphia to LA, but I might prefer to travel by car from Philadelphia t…

China is still a developing market for ride hailing/sharing. The margins aren't that good. In fact, with the amount Uber/Didi are spending on driver/rider acquisition, they're both…

They are profitable in the U.S. They are unprofitable world wide because China and India are newer markets and Uber requires scale to turn profit. As they continue to gain market s…

I've only taken Uber (Lyft is not available in the city where I go to university), but I find most of my Uber drivers as extremely friendly. I've had some very interesting conversa…
