In the short term they do, but if the benefits are based on VC, they just cannot last forever.
Then they'll benefit for a few years. Having low prices for 3 years is better than having low prices for 0 years.
What about the drivers being paid peanuts? They are users too.
Watched a few interviews with the founder a while back and enjoyed his no BS/blunt attitude towards everything :)
The key of their success appears to be adaption to the local environment, which Uber is not doing (as much).

It's a race to the bottom. But customers benefit, which is nice.
