There were 75+ cabs waiting for the final plane to land Monday night at midnight.
There were many more than you saw. They know the flights, they know they can get 40+ dollar fares. This is what they dont want to lose to uber.

I don't know what city you're talking about but I'm assuming they're already out there because they took someone to the airport and are trying to get back to the main part of the city. At least how it works in NYC

For a round-trip Uber the going trip was about $11 and the return was $45
The Uber business model works well here...get you somewhere cheap, you get drunk etc etc, you need a ride back..surge time!

Wouldn't be as beneficial in Nola though since there are no mandatory closing times

Thats what so awesome about it on non festival/holiday weekends its would probably just a little more than a cab for a guaranteed ride home.

If anyone needs a free ride (and hasn't used one before), I currently drive for Uber and have a code that not only gets you a free ride, but I get free money as well

Perfect for BR. Cab system sucks here. I haven't waited more than 5 minutes for a ride.

I'm well aware of the hundreds that wait in the lot on other side of Airline. It just pisses me off when I have to wait an hour because 5% of them will pick up from Metairie.

This is exactly why it works here... Cabs usually take an hour or two, can't tell you how many people have been really appreciative/happy that I pick them up in under 10 minutes

I live close to Top Golf, I am right in the middle of Old Town. I am sure you went to the bars there!
We were there for work. Stayed in Tempe and drank at the bar at the hotel mostly. We got in early Sunday and hit Top Golf around 3. What's those big mountains you can see off in the distance out of the back of the top golf range?
ETA: it really is a dry heat. 85 felt worse here when I got back

I used it 2X in Houston last month for the BBQ Cookoff. Was impressed. Worth it and cars were much better than a taxi.
