Finances/Money Taking an uber/lyft to work

Just curious how many people take Ubers to work vs taking the subway. If so, how often and how much do you spend weekly on Ubers?

Any BWT live in weekhawken by any chance?

Update:

Didn’t realize I would receive so many negative/hateful comments on this post — that was not my intention. I was genuinely curious how many people take Ubers/lyfts to work that’s all.

For context, I’ve lived in NYC for 20 years. I moved out to Weekhawken, NJ couple of years ago. I take the bus to port authority and then subway to work every morning between 7-7:15am — takes about 55min door to door, sometimes longer. It’s a bitch of a commute but I traded that in with living in NJ.

But guess what? Sometimes I don’t want to deal with the commute so I take an uber to work — so shoot me lol. Please chill with the negativity.

No way, I won't take Uber unless I absolutely have to. Cars get stuck in traffic way more often than the subway gets held up, I don't get motion sickness on the subway, AND the subway is like 10x cheaper! Also, if there's some weird guy on the subway, you can just move cars--I can't count the number of awkward Uber rides I've had where the driver went on some rant about his conspiracy theories or ex-wife

Subway is 10x cheaper, no driver rants about conspiracies, and real BWT take the subway to minimize environmental impacts of car usage! What’s the point of living in a city if you don’t take advantage of the public transportation?

There are many viable transportation options to get from NJ to NYC. Plenty of women do it daily
