What are your usual use cases for Uber? MBTA covers pretty much everywhere I go, but I think MBTA coverage has also shaped where I tend to go (and where I live).

For me:

- calling a car to my home (faster, easier, and more trackable than phoning a taxi) if I'm in a hurry

- late-night after bars close (0200+) and street taxis are scarce (downside: surge pricing)

I'll typically prioritize my transportation: (1) walk/MBTA where possible, (2) hail a cab if they are available, and (3) Uber. Still, that leads to a handful of trips a month.

anywhere past 1230am. anywhere in south boston (some mbta stops, but easier to use uber with friends and hailing a cab can suck if youre not near bars)
