Mode preference: subway vs. Uber

Posted by Spider-Pig on Fri Apr 26 01:48:15 2024

I hate Uber and other car service and would much prefer to ride the subway. Today I was with family members on an Uber and I hated it. It got stuck in traffic because he took a wrong street and I even said we should have taken the subway. Later for the return trip I convinced them to take the subway (they wanted to take an Uber and pay and I told them I don’t want to sit in a car in Manhattan). I much more enjoyed the subway trip and they hated it.

Off topic. Uber operates no rail service.

100% subway for trips within NYC. I only use rideshare services when a subway trip would be impractical.

It is on topic given the subway comparison.

Exactly that. Taking an Uber instead of a single train literally two stops is ridiculous.

What were their reasons for hating the subway trip? Certainly couldn't have been cost.

I agree.

Unfortunately, my wife's knees hurt for days if she has to do even one flight of stairs.

My sympathies to her. My 79 year old knees prefer ramps, escalators, elevators.
