Uber’s “surge pricing” can be really ridiculous. My D uses it in Boston and of course it is in the evening hours that she might need it. On a Friday or Saturday night after 10pm you can pay 4 or 5 times their regular rate. Of course you are apprised of that beforehand. Really kind of cancels out any benefit over a regular cab, and often a cab will be a lot less expensive during Uber’s “surge” times.

The big advantage of Uber is that they seem to be everywhere and they appear on demand very quickly. You can get very used to that. Beats waiting around and flagging down a cab on a cold or rainy night. Will look onto Gett.
