I am not UBERBlack, but as I read this, they are basically killing Black. There is no way any Limo driver would take an UBERX call. So there choices are really:

1. Continue to drive Black and ACRO the others until they get deactivated for doing so.
2. Leave UBER and go straight LIMO.

Can't see any other possibility for them. Travis strikes again.

Existing UberBLACK partners have opportunity to take part in the following options:

OPTION 1: Increase your potential earnings and lower your costs by becoming an uberX, uberXL and uberSELECT partner, instead of UberBLACK. On uberX products, you don't need commercial insurance , which means you will rid of that excess expense by making the switch. On top of earnings saved by not having commercial insurance, uberX products have the lowest service fee at 20%. This will allow you to pocket more per trip. Sign up for uberX products below.
DRIVE ALL UBERX PRODUCTS
OPTION 2: Increase your potential earnings by opting in to start receivingall requests on the Uber platform. While continuing to receive UberBLACK trips, you will also receive requests from uberSELECT, uberXL and uberX. This will help ensure you're making the most of your time, taking more trips, and earning more per hour. Sign up to receive uberX product requests and UberBLACK requests below.
DRIVE UBERX PRODUCTS + UBERBLACK

Unless I am mis-interpreting this, I think it applies to the existing Black car drivers.
