We ended up taking a taxi home for $40 including tip

Yes, a lot of areas cabs are a better deal. I've been trying to get my daughter to understand that as she occasionally uses Lyft to get home at night. -- nm - zunk xometimes Apr 11, 08:50 2
- Especially when the Curb app exists and you can basically do the same thing as uber or lyft. -- nm - pmb Apr 11, 09:00
- we couldn't even find a cab Friday night coming home from the game, Uber was absurd, so we went back to Plan A and took the streetcar. -- nm - Andie Apr 11, 08:53
BTS in Vegas over the weekend. Rideshare was $100 even on short rides -- nm - budice Apr 11, 08:48
I'm going to gripe about this. Surge pricing sucks. It feels like they are taking advantage of a situation. - St. Epiphany Apr 11, 08:48 4
- Taxis still there, but all about supply/demand + gas prices too -- nm - budice Apr 11, 08:49 3
  - didn't Uber(?) bring taxis into the fold? how long until the final company just charges what they want, when they want? - St. Epiphany Apr 11, 09:17 2
    - This is when autonomous vehicles kick in. No driver to pay or tip, so should be cheaper...right...right?!? -- nm - Meg Apr 11, 09:44 1
