Uber, Lyft, And Taxi Cabs
Hi all! As Ted said I’ve been battle a kidney stone for the past week, but something happened to me, Uber-wise, that made me want to share this with you.
Not only am I an Uber driver, but an active rider as well. I took an ambulance to the hospital for my pain, but I was being discharged at 6:00 am. The question the hospital always asks is, “Do you have a ride home?” Fortunately, with Uber, I always do. Without having to make calls to family or friends who may or may not be available, an Uber driver picked me up right outside the hospital entrance in under five minutes of requesting the ride. The ride home was $7.22 (plus the $1 tip I gave him). Also note, no taxi’s were staged and waiting near the hospital.
Speaking of taxis, I had an interesting ride from another Uber driver who used to be a Las Vegas taxi driver. I had to probe him for the answer to the question I get all the time. Just why did he quit being a taxi driver to be an Uber driver?
Speaking driver-to-driver, he said the number 1 reason wasn’t money, it was freedom. Rather than being locked into a 12-hour shift 5-6 days a week, he was able to “go offline” as we call it, to take care of personal matters. He was able to pick up his kids from school if necessary. He says he can still make as much money, but HE decides when he works, and can always make time for personal matters whenever they arise.
So let me re-emphasize what Ted said above in “Newkirk’s Notes.” Get yourself either the Uber or Lyft (or both) app today. Set up your account- costs nothing to get an account. I can’t express the value of having it as a resource when you really need a ride.
Download Lyft App (either platform)
We at AccessVegas are not sponsored by either Uber or Lyft. This is just part of what we do to share great Las Vegas information with you.
