    It’s so funny how it’s all come full circle. I’m back to using hotels and taxi cabs now. How crazy I would have thought that sentence 10-15 yrs ago.

      Have taxi cabs started embracing apps yet? The best thing about Uber/Lyft when they started was that you didn’t have to make an actual phone call to a company and request a cab and then be told to wait ~30 mins for one to show up.

      I say this as a partier who used cabs weekly for over a decade.

      That being said, agreed on the hotel. I only use Airbnbs for group trips where we’re all trying to stay together. If it’s my husband and I, I’ll rack up those Hilton Honors points while not needing to do anything pre-check out please (though we never leave the room gross. Trash is always left in the trashcans and the used towels are always in the bathroom specifically).

        That I’m not sure. I think they have but it must be annoying if every different cab company has their own shitty app that is nowhere near as good as lyft. We mainly use them for airport runs, so it’s not really a big deal not having an app. Scheduling them in advance is fine with us, and they’re just waiting at the airport when we get home, so no need for an app or a call.
