What time is your train leaving?

Probably most flexible and reliable to schedule an Uber or taxi ahead of time. In the past I've scheduled Napoleon Taxi for early morning flights from RIC, and they've been prompt and reliable.

6:05. My husband can give me a ride if need be, as It would be recurring on some Thursdays. I’ve looked into Uber and taxis, but it’s $30-$40 for 3 1/2 mile ride. Just wondering if others make the commute and leave their cars during the day!

For one day, I'd leave my car. For multiple days aka overnight, I wouldn't leave my car there unless I absolutely had to.

>$30-$40 for 3 1/2 mile ride

Whoa! What a rip off!

I hope you can find a car pool/commuter option.

Yeah, if it were just one day, I wouldn’t mind paying the $10. But when I go I generally stay to the four days.

Lyft is saying ~$18.00 for a scheduled 5:15am pickup near St. Mary's to the Amtrak station. If you don't schedule ahead, you might have to wait a little longer but it would be cheaper.

Good to know! I checked with Uber and they quoted $43. Henrico cab $28.

For me it's less about the money and more about the safety of my car.

That really sounds high from Uber, I wonder why? The early hour or the scheduling? Only saying so because I occasionally take Ubers about 4-5 miles around the near west end after one too many drinks and it's never been more than like $16.

I think maybe the scheduling. I priced it for a Saturday morning at 6.

Sounds high but check Lyft too
