The difference is that generally a taxi driver leases a cab for a flat fee but keeps everything above it and vehicle deprecation and maintenance is covered by the company. The Uber driver covers all vehicle costs from their net fares.
Uber's still a private company that's been raising a lot of money lately. However, the most recent financial documents indicates it's losing a lot of money, spending about $2 for every $1 they take in revenue.
