How much lower? Has anyone done an analysis of the difference in pay, given any requirements to pay the cab company, pay for a gold star, etc.

Does a standard cabbie make significantly more than a standard lyft driver?

Cabs are certainly far more rundown generally when I take them than lyft vehicles. People seem "better off" driving lyft, but it may not be their main source of employment.

So it would be cool to see a real breakdown done.

Uber did an analysis that they claimed showed Uber pay was better, but they didn't take into account or share data about costs the driver is stuck with in Uber that they wouldn't be in a cab: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/01/22/uber-drivers-pay-st...
