I took a Ubercab today from the Anchor Steam Brewery to Loggly's HQ at 1st and Mission. We mostly did this to see what all the hubbub was about. That, and the bus was late. The ride cost $20 for the 4 of us, so it was a tad expensive. (+1 for taking the bus outbound though) I was told Ubercab gets 20% of the take from the driver, and then charges 20% above and beyond that to the rider. Rough math, that would be around $12.80 to the driver, and the rest to Ubercab. This includes tip. All you have to do is bail out when you get to the destination, and then vote on the ride. I'm not lying when I tell you the car (a newer model Mercedes) showed up in about 90 seconds from the time I hailed it in the app. Very slick. I hope they stick around.
