The number would likely be way lower than this (it doesn't make too much sense to extrapolate linearly from the densest urban population), but your point still stands even you double or triple the $/driver. That's pretty weird...
- lpolovets 10y agoThat's a good point. After Googling some more, it seems like MA has about 8300 "taxi drivers and chauffeurs" (http://www.bls.gov/oes/current/oes533041.htm http://www.bls.gov/oes/current/oes533041.htm), so the $83 should probably be doubled or tripled.
