Uber, taxis, they’re all taking the piss. Taxis and Ubers are my absolute last resort.

Going out close by? Bike or PT.

Going somewhere further and PT not an option? Drive and don’t drink. Or crash at the place/nearby. Airport: offer lifts and you will be rewarded in turn.

The white-hot rage I’ve entered into due to the ineptitude and shitfuckery of taxis, Ubers, and their booking systems means that forgoing alcohol is a very small sacrifice for the certainty of a smooth journey.
