I need more space for luggage and such and ... some "mid-sized" SUV picks me up that has about as much space a regular sedan anyway ... often the same type of vehicle that picked me up the previous day as a regular vehicle.
Also that's a booster seat, not a child care seat, so can't be used if your kids are under 4.
That and I guess UberXL - otherwise it’s pretty fungible.
The interesting bit is that black is often pretty much the same price a UberX about a third of the time.

I think this would be similar to the medallions of yellow NYC cabs
This needs more driver quality insight because e.g. passenger gets in your vehicle, you drive them to some secluded spot and their body is found the next morning - there's no records for murder cops to start from, unless there was a witness there may not even be a description of your vehicle. The UK has had this happen, but it's very rare because the sort of person likely to escalate to murder is not going to get licensed.
In contrast a mini-cab or Uber-style driver has records of who was dispatched to pick up somebody, where they were picked up etc. So if you take to murdering your fares the murder detectives will show up at your door with company records implicating you.
In my experience in west europe, booking a uber XL you usually get a full size van (vw caravelle/multivan, Mercedes v-class or a bigger Renault Trafic) with usually 7 to available seats.
Booking a uberXL in Mexico City gets you a miniSUV with only 4 available seats and if you get too much checked luggage it goes on a roof rack.
Shortly after pandemic, I noticed "corridor fees" on vastly different routes which, mysteriously, bumped-up the price by the same percentage across each route--but only after the ride had completed. The price I was quoted was not remotely close to the price I was charged.
I did the customer service messaging thing. The first time, they removed it. The second and third time, they declined to remove it.
I now "decline" riding Uber unless there's no other option.
If they want to jack up the prices they can just increase them - they don't need to add random fees.
If we don't like we can choose a competitor /s
Sure the state and Uber can add whatever fee they like. But not after I accept the ride.
Where I am, Uber shows a price, I pay that price. Whatever fees are included is not my problem.
Additionally, these municipal fees are fixed so if that were the case, Uber would know about them in advance, be label them as such, and/or fold them into the quoted price.
There is no option to say “send me a mini van”
So it can carry the 2 extra people, it can carry some luggage, it can't carry both, and it can't carry neither?
While NAND is technically correct, it's just not commonly used as a grammatical conjunction.
I thought it was just used for, like, a couple jokes that you get from “intro to digital logic” class. The joke is funnier if it is correct, I think.
