Since giving up my car, I've resorted to ordering a cab on bitterly cold days to go to work, and the occasion of going out for the night.
Generally every cab driver I get is super friendly, and makes some kinda of relateable small talk. And their rates aren't too terrible. It'll be about five to six dollars plus tips, for me to get to work.. which is a mile away ( yes I order a cab for only going a mile away when it's below zero. ) All in all, I haven't used another cab service cause I'm sincerely pleased with union cab!
