Single rides cost $3.50 a trip while day passes are $15.</p>\n<p>Lime has scooters available in cities across the U.S. including Chicago, San Francisco, Austin and Charlotte. Lime charges a fixed rate to unlock a scooter than a location-based per-minute rate to ride the scooter. Rates are displayed ahead of a ride.</p>\n<p>Lyft has scooters and bike rentals in cities including Minneapolis, Denver, Washington, D.C. and San Diego.</p>\n<p><b>Take public transit</b></p>\n<p>There are a few pockets of the U.S. where public transit really can take you almost anywhere you want to go, and for a fraction of what you might pay for a ride-share or a cab.</p>\n<p>The New York City subway system has resumed 24-hour operations. Each ride costs $2.75, or you can whittle that down by ordering a weekly or monthly pass if you plan to make regular round trips. The subway runs between <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/MHC.AU\">Manhattan</a> and JFK International Airport, though there is an additional $7.75 fee for airport service. City buses also provide connections to LaGuardia International Airport.</p>\n<p>In Washington, D.C., the Metro provides access to popular tourist destinations including the National Mall, the White House and several Smithsonian museums. Ride prices are based on distance and time of day, but the most expensive fares in the system are $7.50 for express airport service. D.C.'s Metro runs to Ronald Reagan International Airport. Bus connections are available to Dulles International Airport.</p>\n<p>San Francisco has BART, the Bay Area Rapid Transit system of trains and busses. Even Los Angeles, Atlanta, Minneapolis, Seattle, Salt Lake City and Houston have some type of rail or light rail service.</p>\n<p>Chicago has the L, the city's mostly elevated local train system. For the bargain price of just $5, the L will take you from O'Hare International Airport to the Magnificent Mile where shops, restaurants and architectural icons await.</p>\n<p>That price is a fraction of what you could expect to spend on an Uber or a Lyft between downtown Chicago and the airport -- even back when drivers were plentiful and rides were cheap.</p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Why Uber and Lyft prices are going up -- and how you can get around for less</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nWhy Uber and Lyft prices are going up -- and how you can get around for less\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n<div class=\"head\" \">\n\n\n<div class=\"h-thumb\" style=\"background-image:url(https://static.tigerbbs.com/150f88aa4d182df19190059f4a365e99);background-size:cover;\"></div>\n\n<div class=\"h-content\">\n<p class=\"h-name\">Dow Jones </p>\n<p class=\"h-time\">2021-06-21 15:37</p>\n</div>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<blockquote>\n It could be months until there are enough drivers to significantly lower prices.\n</blockquote>\n<p>Ride-shares have gotten expensive enough in Chicago that Matt Shachat has decided it's time to finally get a driver's license.</p>\n<p>A Bay Area native who has also lived in Boston, Shachat didn't need to drive himself anywhere before.
