The prices are rising based on hype and not objective improvement. The CVS closes at 7pm, the Papa Joe's downtown hasn't opened, and yesterday when I wanted to go to a concert in the North End and left 40 minutes early, there was no Dexter bus for 30+ minutes, no Woodward bus for 30+ minutes, an no Uber car available. I finally was able to flag a cab that was unable to take credit cards and didn't turn on their meter. We had to stop twice before finding a usable ATM. So traveling three miles within greater downtown should be worth that grief when the rental rate would buy 24-hour transit in another major city? It's not worth it. But I'm staying. Because I'm an enabler and love being abused, I guess.
