> profits range from 20% (quite common) to (at most) 50% of payments to the driver
You mean, of their payments (post-tax?), 20% to 50% is profit, after paying for the expense of driving and/or maintaining the car? I assume the profit is what constitutes their practical income (rather than profit above some assumed wage.)
> these services got approved because they claim that drivers make as much as taxi drivers
Did they get approved? I thought they simply barged into the scene.
> almost always report well less than all their income
On the one hand, sympathy with the working man; on the other, less sympathy with people who benefit from government-created scarcity and then also evade taxes.
