2. Uber: Overview“Your ride, on demand.”
The Good: Uber is a ride-sharing service that is available in 176
cities in North America. Their prices are generally low – so is their
wait time (average of 4min. 16sec.). Users of Uber can select to ride
in an uberX (normal-sized car), or upgrade to a luxury vehicle.
The Bad: Uber changes their prices to be higher during peak times
(when it’s raining and on weekend evenings). Uber has also been
accused of breaching California business law several times.
The Bottom Line: Uber is fast and affordable. This service is
especially great for people looking to ride a short distance every now
and then.
