Uber drivers appear to be earning more than cab drivers, according to new numbers released by the San Francisco-based company.
The numbers show Uber drivers make an average of about $6 per hour more than the average taxi or limo driver.
But the numbers don't take into account what Uber drivers have to pay out of pocket: gas, insurance, maintenance, and the depreciation of their car's value. By one estimate, that adds up about $7.20 an hour for New York drivers who work a 40-hour week.
