Thanks for the report. I’ve never used Uber/Lyft but will give them a try.
It takes about five minutes to setup the app and you are off and running. Loading the method of payment was really the most difficult part of it as I had to dig a credit card out of my wallet.
Once loaded you simply type in where you want to go. Don't even need an address. Just the first few letters of the name of the restaurant, hotel, etc., and it pops right up with all the options and prices.
Once you select a car, you can see exactly where the car is on a map with the driver's name, picture, make of car and license plate number. You get a vibration when it's three minutes away.
It wasn't just millennials that were driving either. I met a 20 year Navy Vet and also a couple of older people, who do it as a side gig in retirement. All of them very polite and eager to make recommendations. They live and die on the reviews you give them so they tend to be super nice and helpful. Exactly the opposite of most cab drivers you will run into.
