Also Beijing and Shanghai Ubers technically have separate fapiao issuing entities, but they were willing to allow me to combine things into one.
Good on you Uber!
Uber not profiting from them is a bunch of BS; their downside risk is close to zero, and they hold the money during the float. I'm also not entirely convinced that surge pricing gets passed onto the drivers in full, though I have no concrete evidence to back up this claim.
