Anyone else remember when Uber (or Lyft) were faster, cheaper, cleaner, and better vehicles than cabs?

Now, in the time it takes to walk from C gates to cab line the app still can't figure out I'm back at ORD, an UberX is over $70, or a black over $100.

It will take 15 min to get a car (8 min according to the app) and it will be a dirty Toyota Corolla

Meanwhile there is no one in the cab line and in a crossover with much more space for $50

Nice work fixing the taxi industry Uber!!

Over the last year, I’ve only been taking cabs from O’hare. Hated the Uber/Lyft wait times and prices are about the same now.

Anecdotally, it feels like our prices in general are so much higher than other cities. Have been in Miami, Nashville, and some other cities lately where Ubers/Lyfts seemed much cheaper on average

I’ve heard people say that they’ll take the blue line to any of the stops between Irving Park and Damen, and then call an Uber from there

Cabs were always the best way to leave ORD for years. Sure you can get unlucky with the line occasionally, but the Uber wait and random cancellations was always atrocious.

Pros:

- fairly decent place to work (from someone who worked with the Vancouver and San Jose offices). never met a blue badger (permanent employee) who had awful things to say.

- Ashley Goodall (their SVP, Methods & Intelligence) co-authored a brilliant book on leadership and people management called “Nine Lies About Work” that makes me believe they can be an awesome place to work

Cons:

- red badgers had low morale since they’re contract workers and can be terminated at any time
