Hmm I don't know what they're doing in the US, but where I am Uber seems to be a decent service.

However, it costs as much as taxis so it's mostly a matter of preference what you order. And it has competition from Bolt.

So now it's suckering not only the investors and drivers, but also the users. And still not making a profit like taxi companies must do. So where's all that money going?

Excellent business model for the Managers. It will be interesting to see what happens to their salaries and bonuses in the near future.

Don't know about suckering users. It costs the same and I don't have to explain to them on the phone where to pick me up, which is a plus.
