Why would you want trips that oay the same as uberx but will likely take longer to load and unload etc?Got this email to do UberAssist. As much as I like to help out elderly and handicapped PAX, it seems like it would just make it more likely for me to get calls further than ten minutes away. Plus quick cancel doesn't work anymore. If Uber cut their commission on these trips, I would consider it though.

What Uber should do is not take their 20% to make up for the extra time and effort involved.
It might be a way to get more trips when uberx is slow and there's a special event but at other times it wouldn't be worth it.
There's a reason government subsidizes these sorts of services and/or mandates a % of the fleet be equipped to do them.
