Uber is still not a successful business model. It’s losing millions of dollars a quarter. Once they start charging enough not to have to subsidize rides and they can turn a profit and people still use them, then it can be called a success.

We still don’t know how price sensitive the average Uber customer is.

If I’m not mistaken in mature markets, like US, they are actually profitable. They lose money (a lot of it) to expand in new markets.
