Hello Lillian and everyone,

Mary and I are registered with both Lyft and Uber. Each of us now have separate
accounts. This protects us from being told that our rideshare apps are busy
processing the other one's account. This happened one day when we were going
shopping and coming home from work. I tried to use Lyft to go to the store but
that app was busy processing Mary's trip home from work. It was Uber to the
rescue!Both of us were able to get to where we needed to be using rideshare and
without the hassles of using paratransit.

Hi, David;

How does one sign up for their services? I’m thinking a time may be fast
approaching when public transportation may no longer be an option for me and
John. We do use Para Transit but too often they’re unreliable when we must
arrive at an appointment at least ten or fifteen minutes ahead of time, which
sometimes doesn’t happen. We’ve had to cancel and re-schedule certain ones
because of not being able to have absolute control over such situations.
Sometimes, Trolleys and El trains pass us by, making the difference of being on
time or late, even when leaving home an hour or two prior to our scheduled
appointments. That can be extremely frustrating. Either the doctor’s rule is to
be seen after everyone else if late, or refuse to see someone who is late, not
of their own doing. So, it might be worth it for us to have a back-up system
that’s more reliable. Must we both apply or can just one apply yet both use the
service? It doesn’t hurt to know those rules before-hand. Thanks. Take care.

Lillian

Another thing to watch for it with Uber is Uber passes take a look on the menu
in the app I just bought one that was good for unlimited rides for a month for
$20 and have probably saved more than $200 by using it uberX rides are 595 up
to a $25 ride and UberPool is 299 however I rarely use that although the area
that it is covered can be tricky this one was in Philadelphia and covered a
fairly large area but you can't cross the bridge to Jersey and used it

I don't know how long these discounts will last or what markets they are being
offered. However, Uber is offering some pretty nice discounts on rides. I
recently took a ride in Delaware which normally costs around $20 but, because
of the promotion, cost just $10.82. If you regularly use Uber you should be on
the lookout for it.
