Yes, you are correct.  A vehicle used for hire like taxi or Uber as examples can be excluded from the listed property rules as you discovered in IRS Publication 946 (page 52).

  • The following vehicles are not considered passenger automobiles for these purposes. 
    • • An ambulance, hearse, or combination ambulance-hearse used directly in a trade or business. 
    • A vehicle used directly in the trade or business of transporting persons or property for pay or hire
    • • A truck or van that is a qualified nonpersonal use vehicle.
