I would just take the train
I would just take the train at that point
You'd have to pay me a million bucks
To drive on the Revere Beach Parkway, too.
Bring back taxi cabs
I never paid $40 for a cab from Fort Point to the airport. You new once ride shares eliminated the competition their rates would rise.
I use Lyft when I need to get somewhere that the MBTA's required
I use Lyft when I need to get somewhere and public transportation is required, first because, ever since the pandemic started, I'm leery about using the MBTA. Secondly, the MBTA's been having so many problems that I don't trust it, thirdly, Lyft is way more reliable and cheaper than regular taxi cabs (I've had cab drivers either come late, or pull no-shows.), and fourth, I've heard/read too much awful stuff about Uber to trust it.
Ok. But wait. I'm not a fan
Ok. But wait. I'm not a fan of Uber. I do not own a car. I take the Orange Line (yes, and have become beaten down by it after 40 years) and support my taxi drivers at Forest Hills to the point where they've become part of my circle. I will say that traffic is so horrendous in Boston that health insurers and the lawmakers should move on a new mental illness called Commuter Syndrome caused by chronic traffic congestion. Therefore, Uber probably revised their pricing due to the fucked up gasoline guzzling traffic crisis in Boston.
I wonder if you get to keep
