Would you rather use a taxi or a ride sharing app like uber?

[bigpauly]

Assuming you have no other means to travel at that time

[PrettyPriya]

I use ride sharing the most. We have a car but don't use it much. Traffic is terrible here. Ride shares are nice because you can select different levels. The higher levels (more expensive) tend to be professional drivers where I am at.

Those are nice vehicles and generally the best service in my experience. I think a lot of it will depend on the location you are at as to what is better. In the south of the city, it is a bit more posh, so you have higher end services available.

I'd imagine for you, either would work. You probably get a discount for being able to be stowed under the seat like luggage.

Going back to the airfare idea I had for you a while back, I am guessing your fair is probably reduced like your height. Wait, imagine that... pay by the inch in height. Heck, you could probably get a ride relatively cheap across the country if that were the case.

[bigpauly]

That makes sense that it would be down detention depending on location.

Lmao I was going to say you’re only x inches taller but then deleted it when I realized it was actually a ridiculous amount more

[PrettyPriya]

@bigpauly 😂😂

[exitseven]

just curious, what kind of car does @PrettyPriya drive?

[PrettyPriya]

@exitseven I don't often drive. Rarely really. I prefer to be the passenger. We have an Audi Q2. It is a fun little thing and Priya-sized.

[exitseven]

I lookedd up what that was. It is a cute little car.

[PrettyPriya]

@blackcupcake 👀

[SeriouslyFunny00]

I personally find Uber much better, since I will know the driver's details before riding.. 😊🏃🏻‍♀️ But we have jeepney here in Philippines, they are everywhere haha!

[bigpauly]

I’ve never even heard of them lol

[DeeDeeDeVour]

@SeriouslyFunny00
Didn't Grab buyout Uber there in the Philippines a few years ago?

[SeriouslyFunny00]

@DeeDeeDeVour yup! Uber is a co-owner of Grab here in Southeast Asia.

[SnowedIn]

This is a great question. If I'm in a big city like New York or Washington DC that have a useful, established taxi network, I prefer taxi. I like Lyft better than Uber but I don't like how long it takes for some pick ups and I hate that drivers can rate you badly without any recourse or for anything they just don't like.

[SnowedIn]

I got a @bigpauly like. I feel somehow like I'm at the big kids table at Thanksgiving!

[bigpauly]

Lmao I didn’t think I was one of the cool kids

[NathanDavis]

I've been using taxis, Uber and other rideshare apps for almost two years now...

tariffs do change ALL THE TIME for whatever reasons, so I do usually go with cheaper one

although, often I don't care I just want to make it and pick either... lol

[jennifer_bloom]

I did a search of uber to my university years ago and apparently the regular taxi is cheaper than uber to get to my school, I used to take the taxi to school on days I had exams, just to make myself feel calmer before my final test. I live walking distance from the school so it does not cost too much.

[melanieeeB]

Taxi, I kinda trust them more... but mostly I actually always just walked home or waited for hours for the next available train

[melanieeeB]

(Only waited for a train, if walking would have been longer then 3 hours)

[melanieeeB]

Oh and uber is pretty new here in Germany lol

[bigpauly]

I see. It is definitely hard to know how it will go when it’s completely new to a territory

[melanieeeB]

Yeah exactly!

[Rosexøxø]

Mmm 🤔 as a Born New Yorker, I’d have to go with a taxi.

“Yo Tax Ayeeeee!”

[SaoirseS]

I don't use either locally. There aren't many ride share drivers in my area to begin with, and have never taken a taxi locally.

I've used Lyft in larger cities when I've traveled. I prefer Lyft over taxis when I need transportation.

[Blackcupcake]

taxi… I don’t trust Ubers since they’re not so common here… not taxis either tbh, my number 1 choice would be train or bus…

[bigpauly]

Busses are scary over here, lol. I wish we had more options for trains.

[Blackcupcake]

public transportation, buses and trains are very common and there’s many options here when it comes to that… taxis exist but not many people use them at all… Ubers, never heard of anyone using it, I think I used it ONCE and I thought “never again” lol

[bigpauly]

Lmao it was that bad?

[Paris13]

I have a Taxi I use. Personal Number to the Girl who drives. I don't have An App on Any Smart Phone. xx

[TonyMetal___86]

Miss paris are you affraid if the taxi driver is a man? 😄

[Agape93]

Taxi
I don't usually see instances of taxi drivers kidnapping and raping people

[bigpauly]

I’ve always been a bit weary with the lack of vetting for drivers

[Agape93]

Good. I remember a few years back a guy tried to take a drunk chick over into Canada but was caught by border police

[bigpauly]

Oh wow. That is pretty terrifying

[Agape93]

Yeap. And most of those types of shit don't even make the news because the victims are too drunk, too high or too scared

[bigpauly]

Damn. Now I’m going to be paranoid

[Agape93]

Agreed. Women and children should never go in them alone or unarmed.

[Agape93]

But don't worry, mama is armed. I have enough ammo to kill a mid size town.

[bigpauly]

😂 my hero 🤩

[Agape93]

Lol.

[Ashleywonders]

I usually take Uber. Do drivers need to help you get into the car seat?

[bigpauly]

I don’t technically need a car seat 😒😂

[Ashleywonders]

Technically? Hahaha

[bigpauly]

Under 4’9” is actually the limit where I am from but that is only enforced if you are a kid. Lol I used to see commercials with friends about it and get all sorts of crap for it.

[Ashleywonders]

Awww ahahaha

[RolandCuthbert]

Uber or Lyft all the way.

First time riding a Tesla two weeks ago!

[Paulalove98]

I rode in a Tesla too like 2 months ago it was cool asf lol.

[RolandCuthbert]

@Paulalove98 I loved it. I don't like driving anymore. It is too big a hassle.

But riding in that car made me re-think things a little bit.

[leighbee]

User as I can know when it is here, how much it is, share my location etc.

[WhitneySnow]

I’m more used to Uber but I’ve used livery cabs in New York too

[exitseven]

a Taxi. I never used Uber. I think it is just like hitchhiking only you have to pay for it.

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

The taxi I can get is half fair due to the shared ride being for persons with disabilities.

[HaveNoName]

For us here, taxi is history. Only sometimes, it makes more sense when returning from an airport.

[jamesgoldman]

Taxi

I'll never use Uber, too many thieves and rapists emwity zero regulation

[dustybiker]

I stubbornly use a peddle bike.

[Msputiton]

Uber

[bigpauly]

Because you’re Uber cool

[Msputiton]

thanks cuhh🥰

[douride2]

I would use a taxi if I had to.

[Havthrills]

I like Uber and lyft better than a taxi.

[loveslongnails]

Depends on cost

[Iron_Man]

We have many vehicles I don’t need it

[DeeDeeDeVour]
