Why didn't they produce a time plot of when ride sharing is cheaper than taxis and each other and what percentage of rides are cheaper than taxis? Those seem much more useful than any of the other graphs.
Great, thanks. When you say "percent of rides" does that mean actual rides requested by real users?
Technically it means, percent of fare estimate requests by users to whatsthefare.com, with the presumption that those users are indeed looking to take the ride that they searched for.
This sounds easy to game: If I work for X I send many requests when the fares are in my favor.
