    The cool thing about Uber/Lyft in New York is the driver can be 10 minutes away, and then after they spend 8 minutes trying to get to you they’re now 15 minutes away

        Uber highlights that driving and navigating are real skills and many people do not have those skills

        Usually if a dirver accepts my request for a ride and they're 5+ blocks away, I cancel immediately and get a closer driver.

        It’s the modern equivalent of the computer progress bar: no relation between the estimated time of happiness/arrival/completion and the actual time.

        I’ll never forget the time I waited 10 minutes for a driver who was 4 blocks away to arrive then tried to meet him by walking to his location BUT then ended up trailing him for 5 more minutes 😂😂😂

        The cool thing about NY is that the MTA is usually still faster.

        Here in Portland, the Uber/Lyft is almost always out front before I can even gather my belongings and get out the front door -- no matter where I am in the city.

        I always tell people to hail a cab if they are in the city. Uber usually takes too long to get to you.

        A couple years ago in Seattle, Uber showed my driver as 2 minutes away. Then the driver called and said, “Hey, I’m actually about a half hour from you, because... I’M ON A FERRY.”
