Cab drivers dramatically boosted profits while decreasing driver pay? This goes way beyond increasing prices. Uber both increased prices and decreased driver pay at the same time. I used to driver Uber to make extra cash. They usually took about 16-17% and I made $25-30/hour (before taxes and expenses). Now they take more than 25% and I make $20/hour before expenses so I only drive when I want to have a bunch of conversations with random people
