There are actual cab companies that you can call that will take you into the city - it's about the same cost as uber - lyft.

But not as quick to get to you, last minute, when you're running late.

Neither is calling an Uber, waiting 5 minutes, getting re-assigned, waiting 4 minutes, getting re-assigned, waiting 5 minutes, cancelling, rebooking, waiting 5 minutes, getting re-assigned, ^waiting ^5 ^minutes ^getting ^re-assigned ^waiting ^5 ^minutes ^cancelling ^rebooking ^waiting ^5 ^minutes ^getting ^re-assigned ^waiting ^5 ^minutes ^getting ^re-assigned ^waiting ^5 ^minutes ^cancelling ^rebooking. ^^fuckiti’lljustwalk

Switch to Lyft. 🤷‍♂️ Mine usually goes 1 of 2 ways: Call Lyft, driver arrives in 1 - 3 minutes. OR: Call Lyft, see NJ Plate, cancel immediately, call Lyft again, driver arrives in 3 - 8 minutes.

Or, the companies that run these services can figure this out themselves so the consumer isn’t forced to manage the drivers on behalf of the company.

Nothing to figure out. As I said, my rides are smooth. From the drawn out example you gave, seems like you need to figure things out for yourself, or continue to have a miserable experience and continue to whine about it. The choice is yours. 🤷‍♂️

It happens with any of them. But while I’ve got you here.l: what other wisdom can you offer, oh Knower of All Knowing?

Already stated my wisdom on the subject. Happens to all of them to YOU. I'm waiting 1-3 minutes or 3-8 minutes. Keep up. 🤷‍♂️
