I have been using Uber since last fall and it is a really cool thing. You can select if you want a car, truck, SUV, or other to pick you up by using the app on your phone. I use it whenever I need to take long distance trips like to uptown or if it is too dark to walk home. They send you text alerts when your driver is on their way or when they have arrived to pick you up. It is cheaper than a taxi or Lyft. Every single driver I have ever had has been down to earth and super friendly. Always give your driver an honest rating when your trip is finished. They email you your receipt too.
