This month, a group of mostly Black and immigrant Uber and Lyft drivers in Minneapolis won their fight for a minimum pay rate when the Minneapolis City Council refused to be bullied by the rideshare corporations.

    I never take rideshare from the airport anymore. It’s nearly the same cost to take a taxi, without the wait.

    Their payment systems suck though. I was in one where the default tip started at 35% and was a few steps to avoid.

      It depends on where you are, but I’ve never saved money taking a taxi over ride share from the airport, but I’ve had it cost way more plenty of time. It being the same cost has been the best case scenario for me.

      Depending on where you are, you don’t have the option to take a ride share. It might have changed, but a few years ago when my wife and I flew into Orlando they had a ban on pickups from the airport.

      That being said, we took a hotel shuttle and ordered the ride share from there because fuck taxis.
