This is the best summary I could come up with:

Today in clueless rich guys, we have Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi, who was stunned to learn how much it costs to take a three-mile ride in New York City using his company’s app.

In a wide-ranging interview with Wired, Khosrowshahi was veritably stunned when the reporter questioning him asked if he knew how much a ride in the Big Apple costs.

“I traveled 2.95 miles in an Uber to get here today,” the reporter, Steven Levy, asked the CEO.

As the back-and-forth continued, the journalist got Khosrowshahi to admit the reason for ever-increasing Uber prices: inflation, that old scoundrel.

Combined with drivers’ responsibility for most of their gas and maintenance, that makes their piece of the pie a lot smaller.

As Wired noted after the CEO’s comments, reports indicate that Uber fares have risen four times faster than the rate of inflation — but then again, the man doesn’t even know how much it costs to get an Uber ride in New York.

I’m a bot and I’m open source!

It’s one banana, Michael. What could it cost, $10?

Cost me $135 for a 5 kilometer tow today, and I couldn’t even have a ride in the cab. These companies don’t care lol

I don’t want to excuse the pricing, but that was for a ride in Manhattan. The guy was probably stuck in traffic for an hour. Not sure why anyone would take an uber/taxi when the subway is right there.
