Thanks, John. I think for today I'll just use a regular taxi, but I'll look into Curb. Cheers, Donna > On Apr 3, 2017, at 9:37 AM, Jonathan Cohn wrote: > > Donna, > > You might want to consider curb if it still exists. It will book taxis and > you can pay the standard way. I do find UBER to

Donna, You might want to consider curb if it still exists. It will book taxis and you can pay the standard way. I do find UBER to be about 20-50 percent cheaper. On 3 April 2017 at 08:25, Donna Goodin wrote: > Hi all, > > I just moved to a new city last week. I had planned to start using Uber.

Hi Mika, It's mostly a personal preference. If I spend cash, I know exactly how much I spend, and how much I have left. Whereas, with a credit card, it's easier to overspend. I'm also careful about who I give direct access to my line of credit and bank account. However, you're right, a pre-

Actually, I read that they are allowing cash payments in some cities. I did find a contact form, so we'll see what happens. Thanks, Donna > On Apr 3, 2017, at 7:51 AM, Larry Thacker Jr. > wrote: > > I believe you can do it through the web site, but I don’t think you will get > anywhere. Pa

Hi all, I just moved to a new city last week. I had planned to start using Uber. Yesterday I downloaded the app to my iPhone, but it appears I have no option to pay in cash. I would like to contact them about this. Does anyone know how this can be done? TIA, Donna -- The following informa
