> the Uber quote was $72 (I'm in Williamsburg). This was a ride that pre-Uber I could just call Areceibo or Northside car services, get a car at my door in 5 minutes, and it would cost around $20.
Not disputing, just curious ...
How much would that ride from those two services cost today?
It's a perfectly reasonable question, but I'm actually unsure since I haven't called them in years. The one thing they do advertise are their airport rates, which Northside says is $42 to JFK from Williamsburg. Earlier this summer I had to fly, hadn't really noticed yet that Uber/Lyft prices have gotten absurd, and because I was running late took a $100 Lyft to the airport. I just checked Uber right now and it is saying $73. I'll definitely be reverting back to just using the local car company for airport rides in the future (but let's not get me started on how absurd it is NYC has no easy, fast public transit to the airports).
