Reply To: Uber vs. car service (or taxi)

BP to flatbush, etc.

How much is a trip from BP to Flatbush with Uber and Lyft and how much is a comparable ride with a local car service? How competitive is Uber with local car services for a trip into Manhattan?

Is there a difference between Uber and Lyft? Between them and other competitive car apps (Sidecar, Gett, etc.)? i.e. pricing, service or other considerations.

Its all credit card so thats good and bad.

What could be the downside of using a credit card versus cash? (I also understand that with Uber the pricing is all-inclusive and no tip is expected.)

How often do you use them? What did you use previously that you replaced them with?
