Not really UBER is desperately expanding revenue at any cost, paying $1 for .25C of revenue seems withing their normal operation. There are a lot of infrastructure related problems for bikes as well. Most cities arent designed for them and keeping a bike safe outside is next to impossible. The car-to-go business model wouldn't really work either if a large percentage of cars ended up with slashed tires, cut breaks and submerged in the lake. And they're for profit.
