For a long time, driving strangers from point A to point B paid terribly. Estimates of the typical cab driverâs salary hover around $30,000. According to Uber, the median wage for an UberX driver working at least 40 hours a week in New York City is $90,766 a year. In San Francisco, the median wage for an UberX driver working at least 40 hours a week is $74,191.
Uber has long said its drivers get paid more than traditional cabbies. But do they really? Driver surveys, strikes, and class action lawsuits suggest otherwise. Most recently, BuzzFeed estimated that drivers in Denver, Detroit and Houston make less than $13.25 an hour after expenses, using calculations based on more than a million trips.
