Can anyone explain how this is different from services like Super Shuttle? I get charged an individual fee, but the actual times are subject to other passengers and that can change at any time.
Super Shuttle is a Passenger Stage Corporation (of the subtype defined as a "Door-to-Door Shuttle Service"), whereas Uber, Lyft, etc. are Charter Party Carriers, of the recently-defined subtype defined as "Transportation Network Companies".)
The rule at issue here applies to Charter Party Carriers, and therefore does not impact Super Shuttle and similar services, just as there are many rules that would apply to Super Shuttle as a PSC that do not apply to Uber/Lyft.
