And so what that means is more trips per hour, more minutes of the hour where they're productive and actually, earnings come up.
ูˆู‡ู†ุงูƒ ู…ุฏู† ุญูŠุซ ู‚ู…ู†ุง ุญุฑููŠุง ุฎู…ุณุฉ ุฃูˆ ุณุชุฉ ู…ุฑุงุช ุจุฎูุถ ุงู„ุฃุณุนุงุฑ ูˆ ุดู‡ุฏุช ุชู„ูƒ ุงู„ุฃุณุนุงุฑ ุชุฑุชูุน ู…ุน ู…ุฑูˆุฑ ุงู„ูˆู‚ุช .
And we have cities where we've done literally five or six price cuts and have seen those price cuts go up over time.
ูˆุฐู„ูƒ ุญุชู‰ ููŠ ู†ูŠูˆูŠูˆุฑูƒ - ู„ุฏูŠู†ุง ู…ุฏูˆู†ุฉ ุจุฑูŠุฏ ู†ุณู…ูŠู‡ุง " 4 ุณุจุชู…ุจุฑุฒ " - ุชู‚ุงุฑู† ุงู„ุฃุฑุจุงุญ ุณุจุชู…ุจุฑ ุจุนุฏ ุณุจุชู…ุจุฑ ุจุนุฏ ุณุจุชู…ุจุฑ
So even in New York -- We have a blog post we call "4 Septembers" -- compare the earnings September after September after September.
ู†ูุณ ุงู„ุดู‡ุฑ ู…ู† ูƒู„ ุนุงู… .
Same month every year.

And we see the earnings going up over time as the price comes down.
ูˆ ู‡ู†ุงูƒ ู†ู‚ุทุฉ ุงู„ุณุนุฑ ุงู„ู…ุซุงู„ูŠ - ู„ุง ูŠู…ูƒู†ูƒ ุงู„ู†ุฒูˆู„ ุฅู„ู‰ ุงู„ุฃุจุฏ .
And there's a perfect price point -- you can't go down forever.

And in those places where we bring the price down but we don't see those earnings pop, we bring the prices back up.

So that addresses that first part.

And then the enigma and all of this -- I mean, the kind of entrepreneur I am is one that gets really excited about solving hard problems.

And the way I like to describe it is it's kind of like a math professor.

You know? If a math professor doesn't have hard problems to solve, that's a really sad math professor.

And so at Uber we like the hard problems and we like getting excited about those and solving them.

But we don't want just any math problem, we want the hardest ones that we can possibly find, and we want the one that if you solve it, there's a little bit of a wow factor.

And so the way we think about it is that it's a challenge, but one for optimistic leadership, Where instead of resisting -- resisting technology, maybe like the taxi industry, or the trolley industry -- we have to embrace it or be a part of the future.
