2015+ when I started to use Uber was the most freeing time to be in a city.
You could always get home from a bar easily, in any weather. If you wanted to explore, and got lost or walked too far, home was only a tap away.
It was such a convenience that after pricing, it was cheaper to Uber to work and anywhere else I drove to than to own a car for me.
- Rapzid 7y agoIt really was all the convenience of a car without having to drive it. A designated driver on call. And in cities where finding a cab was hard or next to impossible.
- AlexandrB 7y agoThe low cost was subsidized by a combination of VC money and underpaying drivers. The fact that you don’t get free stuff anymore is unfortunate but not all that different than the fate of Movie Pass.
