long waiting time.

will have more money to operate.

THREATS
• Drivers aren’t happy with the low-profit margins. This might lead to bad publicity. This can in
turn discourage the new drivers from joining Uber..

joining the startup in new markets. This will result in loss of customers. Uber’s revenues will
decline

brand.
