		wodenokoto on Nov 9, 2015 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Didi Kuaidi: Uber's Enemy in China When I lived in shanghai 5 years ago I was told that a cab driver would make about 4,000yuan a month. So needless to say I was quite impressed by the numbers in the article. I know full time office workers that makes considerably less than that with a masters degree!

That cab driver is probably still making around the same amount of money, and she's probably working 12x7 rather than 8x5.
