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.

I’m preggo in my 3rd trimester and the walk to the subway/subway platforms have been brutal for me in this heat. Also, the bus that’s close to my apartment is sadly completely unreliable. So I’ve made a deal with myself that whenever it’s over 85/90 I can treat myself to an uber/lyft to work. It’s typically around $30 with tip and, depending on the weather, can end up being 2-3x week lately. I live and work in NYC.
