While your comment puts the high level business model in rather simplistic terms, which I agree with, how is it that "running a mini cab system" costs them 700 million per [time period] and why does said system require 6700 employees as of April 2016 (according to quora)

Laura's post from feb stated that on the ops/sre/infra team alone they had ~126 engineers, though I don't know if that includes managers... but it made it sound like there were many layers of managers, thus all the infighting

So can't they cut some of this?
