The remaining 75 rubles. will go to fuel and other expenses, and the rest - this will be the salary of a taxi driver.
• A taxi driver rents a car from an employer. As a rule, the rent is fixed (each city has its own tariff), the cost of fuel and spare parts is separate. The rest of the proceeds (15-20%) - this will be the salary of the driver.
