Just want to throw this data point out for you: I tried scheduling an Uber ride around 8pm on October 28th, and kept getting an error stating "due to heavy traffic and unpredictable arrival times, scheduling a ride is not available".

I tried several variations on the time window, but nothing was possible until the next day.

I tried Lyft but apparently they don't even support scheduling rides right outside of city limits.

Tip: If this happens to you, call Springfield Yellow Cab. Taxis are still a thing. They were even cheaper than Uber for this particular ride.

Wow im shocked a cab was cheaper. Luckily it's only about a 7 minute drive but that equates to an hour long walk. I've had trouble in the past in different areas trying to get a ride for a similar distance and have had difficulty because it's such a short trip.

Either way, by the responses in this thread I feel pretty confident I won't be stranded. It wouldn't be the end of the world if I had to walk though 🤷‍♂️
