It depends on location


> It depends on location

Can you clarify? From https://www.uber.com/us/en/ride/uberblack/, the only obvious location dependency is that drivers must "meet state- or local-level livery regulations" -- I think this just means that for this subset of drivers, Uber chooses to actually verify that they're following the law? Which I know is a deviation from their usual model, but seems like it's very literally the least they could do. Is there more per-geo (per-country?) variation in what "Black" means that's not documented there?


In some places (like Zurich) it’s always been a typical livery driver.

I guess that’s consistent? Some places have stronger regs for a livery license?
