I've been advised not to use Uber to get from the LSU game in Houston. Was told by a Houstonian that id be SOL trying to get uber to pick me up from a game.

There are vehicles specialized for the number of people in your party. Select those.

Those vehicles are only in certain cities though.

I talked to these cougars the other night that used, I think it was called Cruise in New Orleans. I was drunk as frick, so that might not be the actual name, but they definitely used an uber-like program on their phone

Used a cab service in Laffy last weekend

Called at 9, okay cab on it's way


Called again at 9:30....cab is on it way just wait...okay

Call at 10....oh it looks like they picked someone else up, well send another one up

At 10:50 we get a call from the cabbie to say he's outside



Then the night is winding down, I call the cab company again early...oh just go to the back of the bars, they're will be a billion of them out there when the bars close

Go to that parking lot at 1:45 and not a cab in sight.

Didn't get a cab ride home til 4 that night. Could've walked quicker home

I'd advise you not to use yellow cab... you will be SOL too

So now what are you going to do?

FIFY

Believe it or not, a lot of people don't even think twice about getting a cab because of exactly what happened to you. They'd rather drive drunk and not deal with the hassle

I love these people. Move to a real city if you want things like taxi services.
