Those above cities are, I believe, post rate drops. Also other leaked numbers have said Uber continues to grow. My guess is driver happiness doesn't impact Uber's business much; our economy seems to generate enough desperate people that they have a nearly never ending stream of people willing to drive for $5/hour (a reasonable estimate of an UberX driver's true net comp.)



Seems like much of that short-term profit would easily be negated by increased frequency of maintenance due to wear-and-tear on driver vehicles.
