Lyft and Uber have been very disappointing at the local airport lately. Lyft pickups from the airport are supposedly cheap but the last time I tried getting one it let me wait for 20 minutes; I eventually gave up and got a taxi.
Uber from the airport regularly surges, usually right after a flight lands, and their surge price puts them well above the price of the taxis that are ready and waiting to pick people up. I’m not even sure why anyone would take an Uber at surge prices - and it’s not like their regular price is that much cheaper than a taxi anyway.
Also, the taxi companies have gradually been getting better at the app game. They’re still a ways off from Uber/Lyft’s usability, but they’re also less likely to be flaky and they never surge.

- propogandist 3y agoI compared pricing from hotels next to the airport (that have free shuttle service) and they appear to be $20-30 cheaper on Uber vs the airport pickup point. Planning on trying this on my next trip.
