    No such thing as background checks for Vegas cabs either. They're all from Somalia, how are you going to check it?

    Uber is a threat to current metropolitian cab companies…….expect more Uber criminal 'accidents' or thereof.

Uber takes 20% of the fare, you get the rest. He works probably 15-20 hours a week and makes appx. 300-400 a week. You are responsible for taxes at the end of the year. I'm assuming deductions for car wear and tear can lessen your tax burden
    So he averages around $23/hr before gas + wear & tear? Sounds like a horrible deal.
