Late night Uber/taxi in town?

Submitted by mikethemoose35 t3_zscr6p in newhaven

Hi everyone,

I’m coming in from a late night flight at JFK. The last Metro North I can take will reach New Haven at 3:15AM. Are there Ubers available at that time near the station? Alternatively, which taxi cabs are reliable at that time of night? Thanks!

I work at a bar downtown. We regularly get out 2-4 am. I drive but 75% of my coworkers Uber. You’ll be fine.

there are typically cabs waiting at the union station cab stand until the last metro north train gets in. all you have to do is walk out the door and get in.

I’d schedule a ride in advance so that there would be someone available to pick you up. Ive done it around 4-5am before

I tried that on Uber but the app said reserve pickup wasn’t available. May try with a cab service. Thanks!

Try it with Lyft reserve. I have done it multiple times around 3 4 AM in the morning and they always assign a driver way in advance.

Don’t ever rely on scheduling a ride. It doesn’t work the way you think

Agreed, Uber no problem. Also, NHV’ main taxi co is M7 and you can reserve online, too.

I’ve needed a ride to the airport at 4:00 and was fine in New Haven. Just open Uber ap near Bridgeport station and start looking for a ride from nhv station. It’s about 20 min from bpt to nhv and that might alert some drivers
