So. I got the email saying it was good to go yesterday, but then my friend who is a driver said they got an email telling them they are not allowed to pick up in those parishes yet.

Has anyone gotten one yet?

Mandeville/Covington needs it bad.

The two old raggedy, emphysema infested cabs they have need some competition.

I forget, can you use Uber or Lyft to get to or from the New Orleans airport?

Yes, but it will cost you more than a taxi.

You can use UBER to get the airport. It's $33 flat rate. I don't think you can take an uberX from the airport though unless it's Uber black or suv and that is really expensive.

I don't have any. That's why I use Uber.

I got burned by this in DFW earlier this past week, didn't expect being forced to go all the way to black to leave the airport.

Thought I'd share the community workaround that probably can apply to most airports:

You get on a public transportation (DART train at DFW for 2.50), take the first stop, and UberX from there to your destination.

Am I the only one who still likes to call it "Yoober"? After watching that city council meeting in New Orleans, I was hoping it would stick

Exactly. Everyone just drives drunk.

I'd probably use it. Tired of getting DWIs. I think I have grown out of spending my weekends in jail

I would definitely use it, I'm a responsible adult now so if I go out and I'm driving I won't drink. Really sucks being responsible.

Hopefully they get enough drivers to make it reliable and eventually add black service.

I don't ever have plans when I go out. I just end up where I end up, and don't expect people to be sitting by the phone waiting for me to call.

I've used it a couple of times in New Orleans, and it is nice. Basically like having an account with United
