So, for uninitiated - "Uber" is cab, and "UberX" is gypsy cab? Is it correct?
"Gypsy cab"? That sounds awfully racist.
This is actually interesting question, and I'm not sure one way or another. Is "Russian roulette" racist?
Uber adds $1 “Safe Rides Fee” to UberX rides for background checks, insurance

#92Why not just add it to the base price of the Uber ride? Still seems a little gimmicky to me. I take uberX a very short distance on almost a daily basis. $1 more represents a 12% or 15% price increase in each of my rides. I thought the cheap short rides, was one of the best features of UberX. This will make me consider continuing to use them for these short daily trips.
The base price is susceptible to surge, the safe rides fee is not.
Late reply, but still.
