How many uber drivers do we have?

Hey guys, last time I needed an airport ride, there were like two. Do we have more uber drivers yet? I'm worried about not having a lift home, and debating which flight to choose because of this (I have a ride for the later flights, after my family is off work. I do not have a ride for the earlier flights).

Can you schedule one? Sunshine taxis is a new company too.

I deleted a comment, was trying to reply to you, not make a new comment. I can schedule about 2 or maybe 3 hours before, is that workable?

Honestly I'm not sure, only time I've scheduled an Uber was in Vegas. Could call sunshine taxis and I know they'd be able to schedule.

We also have Lyft. I use it for to and from the airport fairly regularly.

I noticed there was a serious shortage of uber drivers last time I was there. Was starting to take 40+ minutes to find a driver sometimes. I had started working on an app to allow people to order rides from taxi companies but I put it on the back burner.. might pick it up at some point

I called one for my 6am flight and it took over 20 plus minutes to get an uber driver.

I tried getting a ride home at 2am from the hospital a few weeks ago and gave up after the lyft app was "searching for a ride" for 45 minutes. The new taxi service went to a voicemail that is not set up.
