Couple of questions about the post (since the link above doesn't seem to allow comments):

1. Were the numbers for the chart "Willingness to wait in a city 2013 v/s 2014" generated based on estimates from the Uber app or real wait times that were logged once the customer was picked up?

2. Also, looking at the same graph, it seems some of the rides that were not completed because the ETA was < 4.5 minutes (Probability=1) could have trivially been completed had Uber just dispatched the driver a little later (or had the driver delayed him/her-self a bit).

3. What is the volume of rides as a % for each range of waiting times for the ETA?

4. What is the revenue per ride as a % of total revenue for each range of waiting times for the ETA?
