What do you expect when you steal from the people that help you profit or in this case not profit. Use traditional black car service or taxis.

Terrible leadership

Force these companies to pay drivers fairly.

Good! They’ve stolen enough of peoples money!

Haven't used a uber for 6 months taxis have improved and now on par with cost....

Uber reported a net loss of $5.24 billion for its second quarter of 2019....that's a quarter guys $5.24 fucking billion 🤣🤣🤣 be broke within a year....

What do you mean lost..they never had it, biggest scam ever. But the boys made billions so why should they care anymore.... living the high life now.

Too bad. My opinion is that Uber and Lyft are very similar to Sirius and XM. In order to survive and be profitable Uber and Lyft will need to merge.

Excellent news

A giagantic money-grab. It can be done, but the profits won’t be what these greedy sobs wanted... they’ll likely have to de-list and start over to figure it out.

When the CEOs decided to cut into their employees pay I decided to rent a car instead when I travel. You blew a good thing Uber and Lyft.

Who'd have thought that a business model where the employees lose money (or make very little) wouldn't be a good model?

mr_jettlife

Time to buy

duh

If they stop spending billions just for employee amd executive stock based compensation,...
