~2 hours. 3 times in last 2 years. Once traveling in the evening, offered dinner to the driver cause I knew everything will be closed by the time I will get to the destination and didn’t want the guy to sleep hungry

3.2 hours - Baltimore to Philly

2.5 hours from LGA to right across the gwb cause of a dumb lyft driver...

On one right now. MIA to key largo. 1.5 hours

NY to northern CT every damn monday to thursday for 3 months

D2 how much was that ride?

^$2

3 hours. Midtown to LGA in crazy traffic, realized I missed my flight and turned back to midtown for the night. Most useless travel journey of my life.

@C3: I recently had 3.2 hours from EWR to midtown. I know your pain.

THB 3000, ~$100

3h from Paris to insead in traffic

3 hours from Jersey City to JFK to Jersey City. Flight got canceled due to snowstorm on my way there, the driver tried to take the same closed exit to get to Bayonne bridge (? Can’t remember if that was it) to get back to JC, and instead kept going in circles.
I got charged $165 for the ride and I was livid, Uber knocked down $145 from it after I complained. What a clusterf of a ride.

Midtown to LGA 2 hrs....the most incompetent driver I have dealt with

I had a final discussion with him today about it and he went on abt how love isn’t enough for me…
