Reply to comment by [deleted] in New York taxi drivers to get first raise in 10 years, riders will pay 23% more by coolguy4206969

I travel to Brooklyn and Queens often for shows. I don't disagree that yellow cabs are pretty much gone in those areas, which is a shame. I've had $150 Uber rides back to Harlem, which is utterly ludicrous.

I do Chelsea to Harlem very often at the 3/4am mark. Cabs are always ~$25+tip. Uber/Lyft are routinely $45+.

Just Uber yesterday night from Washington Sq Prk to Hudson yard for $16. Not sure Yellow taxis would’ve been any cheaper.

Perhaps not. Timing is key. My Chelsea/Harlem experience is pretty consistent.
