Well, if you'd split the Uber with a hundred passengers or so, it would have been a lot less than $149.

- noirbot 4y agoFor comparison, a Greyhound bus on the same route I was about to take a Southwest flight on was about $160 and took 36 hours with 2 transfers compared to $250 on Southwest with one transfer and 5 hours total travel time. The costs are fairly equivalent, oddly enough.
