Uber's Still Not Profitable

It's a fair value prop in SF, where you have to scream like a cave-person while wading through poop-filled streets with gun-wielding semi-homeless trying to mug you at each corner. Unfortunately for Uber the rest of the world doesn't look quite like that and normal taxis work just fine...

Not in the slightest. One of the biggest problems with normal taxis in Shanghai is that they won't stop if it's raining. And it rains all the time. I don't suddenly need a taxi less if it starts to rain; if anything, I need one more.

What is the reason behind that?

you make the car wet with wet clothes and shoes , smell wont go unless you dry it in the sun ... and if you dont dry it out it will smell like wet socks ...

Walking is less attractive while it's raining.
