Screw taking Washington Flyer out of Dulles...there is no bigger boondoggle in DC than their monopoly arrangement with MWAA.

I fly in and out of Dulles at least once a week. Washington Flyer (also a nice and clean Ford Fusion..) charged me $51.56 to go from my home to the airport, 22 miles. That exact same trip on Uber cost me $91.31, what's up with that? Surge pricing? Why on earth would I want to use Uber when Washington Flyer gets me there for $40 less, is super convenient and one could argue has a better liability insurance? [/quote]

If you enjoy supporting the cronyism machine, be my guest.  Throwing a dollar bill into the Potomac would be more productive than giving it to MWAA or Washington Flyer.

Also, you either took an uberBLACK to the airport or uberX when it was surging for a $91 fare.  Both of these are avoidable.  The 22 miles from Arlington to Dulles is a $35 trip at non-surge pricing on uberX all day, every day.  Lastly, you had to talk to a real live person over the phone to get that Washington Flyer to your house and be honest, you really had no clue whether that taxi was coming to your house on time or not.
