What’s a fastrak transponder?

That white box you purchase with Metro and stick on your windshield so you can go on the Fastrak lane

I was just thinking this today en route to the airport. Maybe the Uber black options?

Not that ive seen

Use a taxi.

For Uber/Lyft - I've seen less and less without it, but it drives me crazy. Taxi is sure fire and usually a similar ballpark for costs. (A tad higher, but convenience can be worth it)

Where you headed? Most taxis have a flat rate option that they do not use unless asked. For example, LAX to DTLA has a flat rate of $46.50 or something. Uber usually runs me $30 on a good day.

But yeah, your mileage may vary on that tip. And I appreciate consultants being cost conscious for their clients. 👍

No - there isn’t. I’ve written Uber multiple times about this. It can save up to 30 minutes and it’s like playing Russian roulette with LA traffic
