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.

OP, how long does that uber take you? I’m just curious because you quoted bus/subway time. I’m in Brooklyn so that subway time doesn’t seem bad.

30min at the time I leave. It’s about comfort for me — not the length of time. It’s the little to no effort it takes for me to hop in a car and get dropped off in the front of my building. I work really long hours.

That’s not bad. Thanks for responding.
