Generally, in my area you only have Uber, I don't think Austin, Texas or any of the surrounding areas have any surviving taxi services available. More mixture in some areas or cities that still have taxis, but I do admit the drivers from Uber/Lyft/etc.. seem to be more personable. As always, thanks for the weekly update, and can't wait to start reading that latest stories that were posted last Thursday, finally have time to set down and do so. -

We use Uber, as it's cheaper than the local taxi firms -
Like @Bill W, my insurance plan (an amalgam of various insurance players) offers free rides to and from healthcare appointments. I tried the service for the first time last week. Unfortunately, the driver to my appointment was late (although, to be fair, I did arrive on time) and the tiny little Toyota Prius car reeked of smoke (even though it was cold out I didn't complain when he left his front window open), yuck. He ate snacks and talked on the phone for nearly the whole one hour ride. F -
We use both Uber and local taxis. We use local cabs to haul groceries home and Uber for longer trips. Uber is cheaper for longer rides. -
Well known and such sage advice. Yet, around the world at this very moment, there probably countless people, hopping around, shaking a hand, cursing an aching thumb. (Been there, done that, ouch!) -

When we worked in Boston for the longest time, we were at the mercy of the taxi companies; a medallion to own, operate, or rent a taxi from another driver cost between 200,000 and 250,000 dollars, certainly not chicken feed. When Uber came to town, it caused quite a stink, as the rides were much more affordable; with the bonus, you knew ahead of time your pick-up time, costs, and route. While not common, in a taxi you needed to let the driver know you knew the way to your destination. -
As far as your question about which service I used to provide me rides, this is my answer. My Medicare Advantage plan covers the cost of ten round-trip rides to medical or dental related services. They use both Uber and Lyft, but they tend to use Uber more often. I recently used up the last of my Medicare covered rides and had to pay for the next one myself. I used Uber, and since the ride was for a destination that was about 75 miles away, the charge reflected the distance and the tim -
The concept of being "betwixt" (or living in the "in-between") is vital in storytelling because it represents the space of transition, transformation, and liminality where real character growth happens. Why the "In-Between" Matters in Narrative: The Liminal Space: Characters rarely change instantly from who they were at the start of a story to who they become at the end. The betwixt-and-between state—such as adolescence, exile, grief, or a crossroads—is where old identities break down

Betwixt is an archaic or literary preposition and adverb meaning "between". It derives from the Old English word betweox or bitwixe, which combines the prefix bi- ("by") with -tweox (meaning "for two" or related to two). The root traces back to Proto-Germanic *twiskaz ("twofold, double"), which descends from the Proto-Indo-European root *dwo- ("two") and *dwís ("twice, doubly"). The final -t in betwixt is an unetymological addition that emerged in late Old English and became common after 150
