In SF I can believe it. In a large area like DFW the wait times for a ride are too long to be practical. Also the question of cost is relevant, I drive a car I have paid for in a city with reasonable insurance rates and no issues with parking. Lyft or Uber would be impracticable here.
- gorpomon 9y agoI have a family member in DFW who has really embraced Uber, and wait times for the area are minimal, and they are around 20 miles from the Downtown area of Dallas (very mid-cities). I never thought that Uber would catch in DFW, and I'm really surprised to see how it's changed life for a few people I know there. Maybe it's been some time since you've tried Uber there, but I'd recommend trying it again. Also my family members there now swear by it for trips to either the DFW or Love Field airport.
- dpiers 9y agoI have worked at Uber for 4 years, but I spent the first 22 years of my life as a resident of Lewisville. It’s been amazing watching the transformation from when I first started (No cars available) to now (ETA ~5 min) around my parents’ house. The last time we were there, my wife dropped me off at a coffee shop to get some work done while she did some errands, and when I was done I got an Uber back home.
