Is this after accounting for gas and insurance? Or are they just hoping everyone confuses them with employees?

  From the proposal: “drivers would earn a minimum of approximately $21 per hour while on a trip, including the costs of their average expenses.”

    > “drivers would earn a minimum of approximately $21 per hour while on a trip, including the costs of their average expenses.” "while on a trip", aka "not really $21/hour", because even in extremely dense areas, drivers have downtime between trips, during which they typically have to either drive around aimlessly, find a place to idle/park, or drive to their next pickup.

      Is that different from how normal taxi drivers get paid?

        > Is that different from how normal taxi drivers get paid? Yes, but it's not the point - it's misleading to talk about a minimum wage that excludes some time on the job from the denominator.

  It's probably calculated to be ~15 an hour net, 15 being the current magic number.
