Uber has nearly 10,000 drivers in Boston, according to data released by Uber for the first time — a number that dwarfs the 1,825 licensed taxis in the city.

The controversial ride-for-hire service released a 27-page report this morning, looking at its drivers across the country.

Boston’s 10,000 drivers — the company counted those who make at least one trip a month — makes the city the sixth largest Uber city in the country. The largest, Los Angeles, has more than 20,000, Uber said. Across the country, Uber has 162,037 drivers who made four or more trips in December 2014.

It is unclear how many of the drivers in Boston drive for Uber’s low cost UberX platform, but across the country UberX drivers outnumber UberBlack drivers by more than five to one.

The report also said Boston Uber drivers make around $20 per hour. That does not include expenses, including gas and car insurance.

In public hearings and closed door meetings at the state and city levels in Massachusetts, opponents of Uber have repeatedly asked the company for the number of drivers it has in Boston.

Yesterday, Goldman Sachs said it has invested $1.6 billion in Uber, adding to the massive $2.8 billion that Uber had previously raised. Uber was recently valued at $40 billion.
