"The yellow-cab metered fare is calculated under a different rubric, meaning cab drivers may earn less, more, or the same as Uber drivers, depending on the trip. Unlike Uber drivers, taxi drivers will see expected earnings before a trip, meaning they can decline rides if they don’t think it’s worth it."
This and another line from the story makes me think Uber is worried they're running out of drivers.
