"Uber and Lyft are only slightly cheaper than taxis"
A taxi from my home to/from the airport is $50-$55 with tip. Uber is $20-$25 non surge (which is most of the time). Before Uber, on an outbound I would always have a friend take me or drop me at BART. On the return, since the taxi is right there, I would take it about half the time.
Now I take Uber/Lyft almost all the time. I'm not sure what I'll do when/if Uber goes up to $50.
