RE: That’s a lot of money. They must be working enormous hours to bring that in.
If you are referring to the retiree I talked about, well, he works about 20 hours a week and makes about 20 to 30 dollars per hour in the outer borroaghs of New York City (depending on the shift he wants to take and how many hours he wants to drive ).
The $600 per week is average.
He never wants for passengers, not in this city of nearly 8 million people.
Plus, he has fun driving as he listens to Rush Limabugh, Sean Hannity, Mark Levin and other conservative talk show hosts.
I thought there were some restrictions on Uber drivers in NYC - some special license or something. Do you know what I’m referring to? When I talk to NY cabbies, they often say their friends have tried Uber but then come back to driving a yellow cab. I hang out on Uber forums and read all the downsides about it, I’m afraid.
