Are you sure they still do this? I haven't gotten a Black Car for an X fare in several years. Used to be fairly common, now never. Before the Susan Fowler allegations, I was a 2-3x per day rider (I'm now mostly using Lyft).

Yes they do, however in some cities there are so many Uber X drivers so Uber does not have to send Uber X request to Uber Black drivers.

Got it. I'm usually in San Francisco, LA or Reno, so that makes sense.

Not all Lyft employees are saints either. I'm worried when the next Lyft scandel happens, ill have no good taxi options.

There is that. I have a taxi driver who's super awesome and I call him for airport rides.

However a) I can't just call him adhoc b) he's good so he's busy. So sometimes I don't get him. Then I just plan on a Lyft.
