I've been a taxi driver for 20+ years now. Been in Boston the whole time. I'd like to think I have open mind and am not against signing up for Uber. Just haven't had the chance yet. Oh, I don't own a car, so how do I do that?

I've been driving for about 8 months, and I've been doing this math as well. I actually spoke to a few other friends driving Uber X and many of them went back to driving the Yellow back in April when they saw their tax obligations.
Depreciation on your car, maintenance fees, and tax liabilities....those seem to be big ones.
Interesting video but she didn't factor in the per minute charge nor did she factor in the base fare! Both of these add a little bit more money earned to the driver.
