    Why Do People Still Take Cabs to Games??

    $2.50 just to get in and like $2.70 a mile

    Would cost $49.50 roughly to get to an Angels game and Uber shows $29

    I see cabs everywhere and I just don't see how they are still in business...

    They didn't get the Uber app yet, and some people feel safer in cabs still rather then random raping Uber drivers.. That's my guess ..

    Better yet grab shuttle or bus that's even cheaper then Uber.. .

    Good point
    If you're too poor for Uber, you'd take the bus or walk.

    Uber/Lyft is great.
    I got a day off work today and I will probably take one to and from the racebook(whichever one I decided to go to), drink a ton of adult beverages.
    I can be cheap and get the pool, or I can pay a little extra for a really nice vehicle, and it will still be cheaper than a greasy taxi cab.

    Yup. Cabs stay in business somehow though. Very strange.

    Here at Dodger stadium I always park at the Police academy street and walk less then a quarter mile then to get in. It's free street parking and you avoid the massive parking lot jams on the way out.. Gives you a little exercise after sitting on your ass for 9 innings also.

    Fools park in stadium parking lots and pay 45 bucks on top of it.. It's a lose lose scenario..

    Sharpest post yet from JJ!!!

    What's the point on going to games? If you are tall like me the crowded stadium seating is the worst, costs a small fortune.. Traffic is always a biiitch just to get to the games. A watered down beer is 12 bucks, Etc.

    Home with the smart TV big screen is where it's at!! You get the DVR pause and rewind function, can watch multiple games on demand, got premium grub and snacks, best fine liquor at your finger tips and full computer access for live betting as well during the game!! Can't beat all that with a stick.

    I only go to games if buds get me free tickets or my brother and nefs come to town and want to go see a game these days.

    Wrong. I always have cash.
    Uber/Left way more reliable.

    Out here in Las Vegas, Uber/Left take minutes, cabs can take two hours to get you if you're not on the strip or downtown

    Taxi lines do suck at the airport and hotels.. Uber lines don't exist. Sharp fact indeed.

    Depends where you live. In NYC it’s often quicker to just hop in a cab than wait for an Uber

    I don't use a smartphone
    and very often I carry no ID

    the cabs are parked where you need them

    best for quick jaunts.

    You need to show ID for Uber/Lyft where you live?

    Never here...

    This is exactly why. I like to pay cash. Will do Uber or Lyft if I’m in the middle of nowhere.

    Cabs in Vegas or airport are understandable but anywhere else takes too long and more expensive.
