I used it almost exclusively when I was in Edinburgh because I got sick of trying to figure out the local transit system. Only thing you have to watch out for is what I think are called “push” fares. For example, when I was trying to get back to my AirBnB on NYE, the fare was up to the equivalent of about $100 or more, because so many people are trying to catch an Uber, and they can do that. Same happened to me in Knoxville a few weeks ago on a Sunday evening when dinner-goers were catching cars back to the suburbs. But I’ve not noticed an issue in my town for random times, and when my friends and I go out, I don’t think we’ve ever had a problem.
