I think the differences are a bit more meaningful. I also dont think this is over.
An aside, but i saw a good article on the economics today.

The economics on who makes more are pretty poor as they use 25 cents/km and fail to realize include ghost kilometres but that aside an interesting read. They also fail to account that Ubers 70k license fee eventually is paid for by the customer and not Uber so that 70k needs to be distributed across all drivers.
What I think it fails to see though is that Edmontons ride sharing creates a barrier to entry for ride sharing that doesn't exist in Calgary at the company level. If us on CP wanted to start a ride sharing company it's easier to do it in Calgary then Edmonton.
This is what Ubers fight is really about. Limiting competition for its drivers so it can drive down fees so drivers don't have options to quit.
