Uber Cuts Berlin Prices to Keep Service Running Despite Ban

Uber Technologies Inc. will change the business model for its passenger services in Berlin to comply with German regulations and evade a ban issued by authorities in the country’s capital.
Uber cut the standard fee for its UberPop car-sharing offer to 35 euro cents (44 cents) per kilometer from 1.60 euros. The change would eliminate profit for the driver and effectively turns UberPop into one of many share-a-ride services that have existed in Germany for decades.
