While details were sketchy my reason for posting this article was to show that Uber did pay even when the driver was merely logged into their app but didn't actually have an Uber passenger in the vehicle.
I think I don't know enough about their system to understand the distinction. If he was logged in to the app, he was looking for a fare, right? So he's working, even though he may not have a passenger at that exact moment.
As for your other question about taxi drivers switching in droves and why they are not, it's a good one. From what I've read, many drivers are doing it for side income, so maybe it's not suitable as a full-time job.
