are still struggling. Something wrong here. Especially when the skill set of the drivers are heavily required in commuting through heavy traffic areas, etc., which is where probably 90% of Uber exists...believe me, you wouldn't be able to get an Uber out in the boonies...believe me, I've tried when I needed alternate transportation one time. So, this fancy service still didn't help me and when I do use in urban areas, cabs are just as cheap and plentiful too.

IMHO, All Uber and Lytf were, are the new wave of stock scams and no more (like WeWork, etc.).
