The best Uber I ever got picked up in was a high end Mercedes driven by a bored retiree wanting something to do on weekends.

Clearly that ride was subsidized by a number of things and wasn’t sustainable.

But I don’t expect limo service at taxi rates - and I’ve started noticing that some Ubers have been literal taxis with an Uber and Lyft sticker on them.

Lately I’ve been using shuttle service or just car service.
