Or I'll just grab a cab at the airport like I always have. Same with many other cities.

[ADDED: Of course, I don't get the VC subsidies that way. But, in general, cab into city from airport hasn't been a particularly broken system relative to getting cabs in other places.]

At least in my experience getting a cab at the airport is at least 4-10x the cost of a ride sharing company. The cities I travel to frequently have fixed-rate rides out of the airport, and they are heinous.
