I can always get a ride home with uber
nothing like paying 5x the price when you need a ride.
they lowered the rates for the drivers and it ran a bunch of drivers off. there arent enough cars in BR now. they have surge pricing out the arse now. weekend nights are ridiculous now. you used to be able to somewhat get around the surge pricing by ordering the uber select car, but they fixed that. set surge pricing across the board now.

I mean I've had this happen a handful of times anywhere
And you know what, I don't mind it at all for how often I use uber. The total price per ride is still lower
but the most important thing is that I can get a ride from the bar to where I need to go

I used it several times on Friday and Saturday this past weekend, and never paid more than 1.5x in surge pricing. I didn't have 1 ride over $12

I think for a while everyone thought it was a neat idea to try out being an uber driver. That may be wearing off, and I'll be curious to see if they can retain enough drivers to keep their responsiveness up.
