As far as I understand, this can be distilled down to:
1: Uber is charging 25% commission for the use of their platform
2: Uber is still losing money
Which means that in order for them to break even they would need to charge a higher commission at the existing fare rates, or bump the fares to a level where their commission covered their costs.
Well... There's always the third option too: cut their own cost base significantly.
Each of those options carries an economic impact and knock-on effects.
