Reply to comment by TurbulentArea69 in New York taxi drivers to get first raise in 10 years, riders will pay 23% more by coolguy4206969

I don’t think he was on hard times. These guys are averaging $300-$400/day. They just like good ‘ol cash. I take yellow a lot and most of them say they make that amount after gas. Some of them say business sucks but I can tell they’re new drivers by the way they drive.

$300-$400 a day probably in Gross. But how much are they paying for the medallion?

I’m talking about the guys that lease the cabs from the garages. $110/day for the car + another $20ish/day in gas. Most of them say they take home $300-$400 “clean” after all that.
