10. The cab owners never take on any costs they just up our operating fees.

It used to cost sixty dollars and now it's seventy. When City Governments add on things to the Taxi's it all falls back on the drivers income. I hope it helps you understand things better.

On Edit: Drivers who own their own cabs usually pay a $450 weekly fee plus all of their fuel.
It's a rough racket and the only two reasons I do this job is #1 I am home every evening and #2 I take off four weeks a year, unpaid of course. My wife has a decent job with benefits and gets four weeks off a year. If it weren't for her, I couldn't afford to drive a Taxi.
