Yep, I live in Chicago and it's a cost/convenience scale with Lyft in the middle. Trains/buses are cheapest but take the longest, Lyft costs more but is faster, and driving is even more convenient (say, for groceries) but costs the most, especially if you don't need it very often. Taxis should fit in there somewhere, but I've never used one because public transport was good enough, then when Uber/Lyft came about they hadn't yet come up with anything as convenient (or at least as well publicized).
