You know, I always want to take a yellow cab home from the airport to support the taxi drivers who, a few years ago, were killing themselves in large numbers due to the medallion debt. But I’m not even home yet and the fare is already above what I’d have paid with Uber. It’s a shame.

Have you tried Empower? Like Uber but drivers get 100% of the fare, the platform monetizes by charging the driver a fixed monthly fee. Usually on par or cheaper than Uber

They operate in NYC, DC and a few others places. I use it for airport runs in DC

I hadn't heard of this! But I'd definitely love an alternative to Uber
