Correct. I say that to prove the point that this raises more questions than it answers. Does this mean that Uber black car service isn't safe until this fee is applied there? What about Uber Taxi? Were my rides before this fee safe? Its bizarre.

Given that the black car and taxi services go through other, well, black car and taxi companies, I'd assume that they do this kind of thing themselves.
