Yes, if there are lots of cash fares and few CC/mobile wallet fares, then the company could keep all/most of the electronic fares to collect its cut. But the fault is not that of the electronic fares. The situation is the result of the drivers keeping the cash fares.

But I suppose people don't understand math---and I don't mean just rideshare drivers.
The implication (from what I read in #2 above) is that the you are asked to cancel the ride via the app and then pay with cash. It's like you never used Uber/Ola to start with.
