Mar 2, 2020 at 1:26 comment added mattdm I get useful information like "the app says under $40, but watch out for rush hour where it could be $100", and specific information about the local rush hour. I'm not sure why that upsets some people — eh, Stack Exchange, I guess.

Feb 28, 2020 at 20:38 comment added mattdm @Kat Feel free to provide something better and more up-to-date.
Feb 28, 2020 at 20:18 comment added Kat Really? They gave an outdated price which may or may not be accurate, said there is traffic in the morning on weekdays (true everywhere with a decent population, something like Google maps can give you a more specific idea of how bad and where) and the wait was a bit long (true of most airports). Obviously lots of people take ride shares from a major airport to a nearby major city, so I'm not sure what that anecdote gets you.

Feb 28, 2020 at 19:45 comment added mattdm @Kat Exactly like that in the accepted answer.
Feb 28, 2020 at 19:40 comment added Kat I'm not sure why you're asking this instead of just checking the app. It's kind of like asking if the price to fly between two cities is reasonable. Go look at the price and see for yourself. What kind of local/insider knowledge are you hoping for here?

Feb 28, 2020 at 15:43 comment added abought I've used it quite a few times; it's clean and generally works pretty well. They're good about letting you use the next/previous shuttle even with a reservation (space allowing)- that helps smooth out uncertainty when baggage claim or flight delays are involved.
Feb 28, 2020 at 15:37 comment added mattdm @abought Thanks -- schedule is flexible until booked, but of course won't be so flexible once the flights are determined. It looks like that's a little less than once every hour, so that might be okay. Have you used it before?
Feb 28, 2020 at 15:34 comment added abought If your schedule is flexible, there is a very affordable bus service (AirRide) that will take you downtown. Fairly comfortable and there's even wifi.
Feb 28, 2020 at 15:04 comment added mattdm I'm not super-interested in having that debate here. However, if you really believe taxis will provide a better experience than ride-hailing services_based on actual experience from DTW to Ann Arbor_, please provide that as an answer.
Feb 28, 2020 at 15:01 comment added Harper - Reinstate Monica Yes, dragging bags halfway across the airport to reach the uber dungeon nobody knows where it is and has no cell service, to get an amateur driver chosen at random who texts continuously while driving, and talks incessantly about politics, and doesn't know the way, is so much better...
Feb 28, 2020 at 13:26 comment added mattdm Not interested in being driven the long way by an aggressive driver who tells me at the end his credit card reader is broken and he needs cash, so, yeah, effectively taxis do not exist.
Feb 28, 2020 at 12:50 comment added TRiG Do taxis not exist any more?

Feb 28, 2020 at 11:00 comment added mattdm @smci Planning on Friday evening, but could be flexible if that's a big factor — plane tickets aren't bought yet.

Feb 28, 2020 at 8:43 comment added smci Useful to say what day and time of day you plan to arrive and leave. Weekday rush hour? Sunday morning?
