>So they’re taking ~20% cut from every trip.

What I'm reading is I can order an Uber to two blocks away and say to the driver that I actually want to go to the other side of town, Uber says it's 50$ from which he'll get 40$, so how about I pay him 45$ in cash. We both win.

You're a genius. Were you previously unaware that Uber took a cut of the revenue?

Uber takes 25% service fee. I guess others things like credit card processing and misc expenses may bring that down to 20%.

It’s still good to see that 20% number on their earnings report.
