Uber also runs Uberx, a cheaper non-towncar version of Uber similar to Lyft. Does anyone know if uberx drivers also have towncar licenses?

UberX cars still have towncar licenses though, judging by the TCP stickers on their bumpers.

In Chicago I've seen taxi drivers using Uber X, but that may be a city-specific pilot. This TC interview with Uber indicates that Uber X drivers have TCP licenses, but may not necessarily drive limos or town cars:

Uber also has extended their service to include some real taxi drivers in San Francisco (which would have a normal taxi license)
