Good for MA - it's a fine thing to see some rational people in government rather than the bureaucratic drones that they are so often (and often unfairly) stereotyped as.
As a Cambridge resident, I use Uber often and I think it's a valuable service. It would be a loss to the Boston area to have Uber shut down.
- kd0amg 14y agoWhat are your usual use cases for Uber? MBTA covers pretty much everywhere I go, but I think MBTA coverage has also shaped where I tend to go (and where I live).
- theorique 14y agoFor me: - calling a car to my home (faster, easier, and more trackable than phoning a taxi) if I'm in a hurry - late-night after bars close (0200+) and street taxis are scarce (downside: surge pricing) I'll typically prioritize my transportation: (1) walk/MBTA where possible, (2) hail a cab if they are available, and (3) Uber. Still, that leads to a handful of trips a month.
