Rideshare is getting really bad. Obviously the investor subsidized costs were going to end. But the quality of service is atrocious.

👎🏿 Pickup time estimates are wildly inaccurate

👎🏿 Drivers canceling after minutes spent waiting

👎🏿 Drivers accept rides and then go off in the wrong direction

I've also experienced a lot of just honest mistakes by drivers, and I can't hate on that too much, but it's frustrating.

Taxis are only the better option some places. Transit is so underinvested that the convenience is often awful.

@acjay while anecdotal this hasn't been my experience. It has just gotten really pricy and the cars that you end up in now have zero standards. It was obvious this was coming as it became a race to the bottom. The sad part is that it is still better than can't in most cities.

@hicksca The cancelation hijinks might be specific to airport pickups, which is my main use of these services these days
