Hello, Za45, thank you for your comment. If I'm correct, then I think you'd like to see an actual range of price increases for various types of trips before you decide whether or not you support this part of the bill. The actual price increases would depend on the type of ride, as you've already noted, and also on a given company's pricing structure, Uber vs Lyft for example. I don't have that information immediately available, unfortunately.
However, could you think of an alternative surcharge formula that would make it easier for e-hail users to predict their actual increased price?
Of course, it'd have to bring the same amount of revenue as the proposed formula.
I know you said you'd prefer not to do the math, but I just thought I'd ask anyway in case you or anyone else viewing might like to try.
