Well I took an Uber and a Taxi this weekend here is my review

Tried to Uber on Saturday night around 3 am and no cars available. Luckily a taxi showed up without calling and I hopped right in. Told him where I was going and there was no conversation to be had. I tried a couple of times and nothing. He got me home safe but there was nothing else to it. No value add in the commute.

Took Uber to get to work this morning since I left my truck downtown on Saturday got out of shower turned on app was notified ride would be there in 10 mins. I was able to get ready to work while being able to check where my driver was and be outside on the curb waiting as he showed up. He noticed there was an accident on deerfoot on his way to get me so we planned an alternative route to get to the office. He is a oil field fire fighter trying to get on with a local force. He holds his class 4 license which means he is capable of driving a taxi and doesn't worry about the insurance bit of things. He made some good cash on the weekend and today had to wait around 10 mins between rides. Just doing it off an on until he gets a call to go to the field again.
