This is a misleading headline. The article refers to the average monthly earnings per platform. In reality, the metric that should have been used is hourly earnings across all platforms. This would account for 1) any difference in hours driven and 2) the proliferation of new platforms. 4 years ago, many markets didn't have both Uber & Lyft. Today, many drivers now use both concurrently, not to mention platforms like Juno, DoorDash, etc.
