I waited half and hour and had three Ubers idle and finally cancel on me before I found a cab who would take me home from South Station (to the suburbs). Cabbie is getting an excellent tip despite the fact that it’s going to be at least 50% more expensive and fuck Uber. Just don’t accept the damn ride if you don’t want to take me!

Did it end up being 50% more expensive? Uber isn't always cheaper than a taxi anymore.

Yeah, more than. It would have been 60 with an Uber and was 100 with a cab, with tips included.

Yikes. Not even that far. I understand that they don’t want the dead miles coming back, but now that they can see where they’re going, I agree.. just don’t accept it. I usually don’t have a problem going from Everett to Boston.
