New York has a pretty great public transportation system \u2014 there\u2019s now free Wi-Fi seemingly everywhere, such as in subway stations \u2014 but that doesn\u2019t mean that New Yorkers aren\u2019t hankering for other ways to get around town. They most certainly are, which is why there are eight (and counting!) ride-sharing apps in New York. Eight options might seem overwhelming, but don\u2019t worry: these eight ride-sharing apps, are ranked from best to worst. You may have already tested out one of the following services, but this list may help you to find your new favorite ride-sharing app.<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Way2Ride<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Way2Ride is perfect: it relies on licensed cabbies for pickups, pricing is meter-based, and there is no surge pricing. That way, you no longer have to feel uncomfortable with rideshares that put taxi drivers out of work.<\/span><\/p>\n

    1. Via<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      This is a ride-share app that lets you share rides with a bunch of other people, Via uses a logistic engine to fill seats on route to popular locations. Via routes aren\u2019t personalized based on who\u2019s riding; you tell the driver where you want to go, and then you\u2019re dropped there on the way to the destination.<\/span><\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Gett<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Unlike Lyft or Uber, Gett doesn\u2019t charge a service premium during busy service hours. Drivers are also paid with an hourly wage, rather than earning a cut of the fare. That means that even if drivers aren\u2019t getting riders, they\u2019re still getting paid.<\/span><\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Arro<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          If you want a reliable way to hail a taxi, Arro\u2019s your app. Like Way2Ride, Arro doesn\u2019t charge surge prices during rush traffic, and you\u2019ll still get to support the taxi drivers who use their driving as their primary incomes.<\/span><\/p>\n

            \n
          1. Juno<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            A newer app \u2014 and therefore, unproven \u2014 Juno is trying to make its mark in NYC with its discounted in-city rides. But the problem with Juno? There aren\u2019t that many drivers yet, so, if you\u2019re in a hurry, this might not be the service for you.<\/span><\/p>\n

              \n
            1. Bandwagon<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

              This app\u2019s usefulness is limited to when you\u2019re leaving the airport after a flight. To use Bandwagon, you mark the destination you\u2019d like to get to. The app then partners you up with people who are heading in the same general direction. After that, it sends a cab to pick you up, letting you skip taxi waiting lines. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

                \n
              1. Lyft<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                Lyft has demand-pricing during busy hours of the day: who wants to pay enormous premiums to get home? Regardless, Lyft is a trusted and reliable app.<\/span><\/p>\n

                  \n
                1. Uber<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                  Uber is a successful and popular ride-sharing app that is available in hundreds of cities worldwide. There\u2019s also uberPOOL, which matches you with riders going towards the same location as you so that you can save money. However, Uber has received a lot of criticism as of late due to controversial business practices.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
