Totally agree. Getting a cab in sweltering mid-summer DC weather is freaking awful. I almost always shell out the few extra bucks for a town car on my way back to the airport. It cozy, air conditioned, and even smells nice. I also get really, really tired of the credit card dance that every cab driver does. Before I hop in a cab, "You take credit cards, right?" "Oh, sure! Of course!" Then we arrive at destination "Buddy, you don't have cash? C'mon? My machine doesn't work. There's an ATM inside, you could just run in and get some cash." "Not my problem, champ. You can take the card, or you call call your boss." Not to be stingy, but complaining at me for paying you the way I said I was going to pay you is not the best way to get a good tip. I'll definitely checkout the Uber service (If it is still around) next time I'm in DC.
