In Austin they&#x27;ve had a 50% off promotion for several months straight now. They keep claiming it&#x27;s going to expire only to extend it at the last minute. I&#x27;m curious if they&#x27;re doing this in other cities too to try to promote growth.<p>I&#x27;m curious how this strategy will work long term - it&#x27;s obviously not sustainable, and I have to imagine they&#x27;ll lose a large number of customers as soon as they stop the promotion as they&#x27;re simply more expensive than Uber. I&#x27;m happy to use the discount right now, but I can&#x27;t imagine I&#x27;ll continue to use them afterwards as Uber costs less.
