People paying for Uber services would have to pay for an additional 730 million in total, per year, if their drivers were made to be considered full time employees.

Taxis are not a viable alternative to UBER. They are more like a partial solution. The couldn't absorb the traffic of uber and they cannot provided the service/convenience and price UBER does. At least in Seattle taxies were barely better than public transportation, only time I ever used them was when the busses didn't run because they sucked so damn much.
