After the C-train collision this afternoon I took Uber for the first time.
Walked to the Subaru parking lot by the 39th station. Requested a car. It showed up in 5 minutes. The guy texted me upon arrival and I hopped in. Nice clean car. Nice guy. He explained to me how things work from the drivers end (I'm looking to become a driver soon). He took me all the way down south to Kramer mazda. A fare that would have easily cost me $35+tip in that traffic cost me $22. Amazing.
I literally have zero reason to ever take a cab again. The speed of his arrival. The cost. The fact tip is included with fare (although I probably will tip in the future just to be nice). The only way I will ever take a cab again in this city is if I'm taking it with somebody and they pay for it.
Color me impressed Uber. 10/10.
