Forms of transporatation, bus, uber , etc
« on: February 28, 2017, 04:27:05 pm »
When was the last time you had to take a bus somewhere? Now they have smart buses that will come to your residence to
pick you up. I believe you pay a fee and arrange a time. I have not tried uber. Have you? What other forms of transporatation
Have you taken?

I have used Uber as a rider and a drive for Uber occasionally when I want to make a few extra dollars.  I won't drive at night or do bar pick ups, and I have never had a problem.  The money is pretty good... (better than beating my head against a wall for 5 cents to do the pay to click).  A couple of trips to the airport and back will net me about $30.    As a rider, I love Uber for the quickness and convenience.... not waiting a long time on a taxi and knowing in advance what the cost will be.  Its great!

We use Uber frequently. It's simple, it's quick, and all the drivers so far have been friendly.  :) None of us drive, so we always either walk, take the bus, or use an Uber. The only thing I don't like about the Uber app is apparently you have to use a different credit card for each individual app. What if people share a credit card?!  :sweat:

I like to use public transportation wherever possible to cut down on my impact on the environment that happens when I use my car. I take a bus about 200 miles to visit my daughter, for example, and usually take a train every time I go into New York City for something.

 I mostly walk or drive.  Haven't taken the local bus in years. Unless I'm traveling I have taken the cab, bus, and tried uber once.

The last time I have taken the bus was back in September 1997. After I bought my car, I have not taken public transportation. It would be nice to take the bus again and experience it all over on certain trips. I have never used Uber because I don’t know how safe its service is.

     I use public transportation. It is reliable most of the times. Save on fuel cost, repairs and insurance. Spend your savings in other things you need.

I don't currently own a car so I ride the City bus quite often.  I also ride a bike and my legs are a form of transportation for me.  If I'm feeling tired and I don't want to wait for the bus I'll pay for a taxi.

I always use a taxi on New Years Eve so I can get to and from home safely after I've had a drink.   :heart:
Have a great day!
