PSA: Try Yellow Cab instead of Uber/Lyft

I’ve taken Yellow cab from the airport a few times this year, and it’s been way less than Uber or Lyft–about $75 after tip to my house.

I just found they have an app to book them with. I reserved a car for an early trip to the airport tomorrow. Here’s what the fees were for comparison:

Uber: $107 (plus tip)

Lyft: $93 (plus tip)

Yellow Cab: $65-68 (plus tip).

Uber and Lyft are screwing us all for their convenience: there is no reason a 30 minute trip should cost $107. It’s insane: even with our high minimum wage, that trip should be no more than around what Yellow Cab is charging.

Not only do they charge a premium, most of what you pay them leaves our region, vs paying a local driver and yellow cab where I expect most the money stays in our community.

So, try Yellow Cab!
