Years later, I'm asking them to take me 100 blocks, and still getting bitched at.
Zero sympathy here. I want to go take a ride in an Uber car just for the hell of it.

I'm leery about the Uber insurance situation, that's the main reason I'm on the fence about it. Not supportive but not against either. Just... leery until I know more about the insurance issues.
But regarding the goldilocks zone - I feel like the only fares the taxi guys really want are to the airport and back. Inner city, too small a fare. Burbs, too long a fare. Airport, juuuuust right. And I imagine that most of the time people aren't drunk and obnoxious (or puking) on the way to and from the aiport like they might be on Friday/Saturday night fare. Plus at the airport they probably almost always get to pick someone up and get another big fare?
Airport = Goldilocks zone.
