Uber fRickun Cool!

On a recent trip to New York City, my wife and I tried an entirely new concept for us – NO TAXIS. It changed the entire experience for us. And, no, we didn’t ride the subway everywhere (although I love the subway)…we rode around the city in style for not much more than the cost of a normal taxi. I downloaded the Uber app for my iPhone and pretty much had an army of private drivers at my fingertips. The cars were much nicer than taxis, I didn’t have to deal with cash at all, and we never got stuck in a weird part of Manhattan trying to hail a cab for twenty minutes (which has happened to me more than once).

The only downside? Uber is not available everywhere. I’d use it everywhere I travel if I could. For a list of cities Uber currently serves check out https://www.uber.com/cities#
