    Uber is running the promo for flat rate fares for 30 days in SF ( https://www.uber.com/info/plus/sanfrancisco/). Are they compensating the drivers somehow?

    Ask HN: How can Uber drivers make money when pool rides are so cheap?

    I've been taking Uber pool a lot lately. Sometimes rides are as little as $4 and I go clear across town from SOMA all the way to the north end of the city. How can they possibly ma…
