’tis the time for rushing around. for errand-running, for traffic, for parties all the way across town — for days we wished we had a magic wand to whisk us around. and that’s the beauty of . i use for all of the aforementioned reasons and because it keeps me feeling sane and way less stressed about getting around the city. i feel like was a game-changer for the city of los angeles or for any city that’s so spread out, or tricky to navigate. when i lived in L.A. twenty years ago there was no and getting around was so difficult and expensive by cab — it was actually one of the reason’s i moved away. it was hard to see friends on the west side for an evening out if you lived on the east side — so you just didn’t see them. now, you can jump in an or share one with friends and split a ride for very little money and it’s made city living much more accessible and easy to navigate. With 24/7 availability, request a ride from your phone on any time of day, any day of the year and you’re good to go.

it’s also made the holiday season much more pleasant and stress-free. i’m not really a big mall shopper — i like to shop small and independent stores all around the city, from highland park to hollywood to all the way to venice and downtown, too. so it’s a lot easier to take an around for an afternoon of shopping than to drive all around and worry about parking (and paying for it!). i always use for dinners and drinks with friends and getting around the holiday party circuit — seems like there’s always a few parties happening on the same night, so it’s much easier, responsible and safer to take when you’re going to be imbibing in a bit of holiday cheer.

then there’s the easy travel aspect of the using — getting to and from the airport, and picking up friends and loved ones. i’m sorry, even if i love you dearly i don’t want to challenge myself with a ride to LAX so i’d much prefer sending an to pick you up. easy-peasy and everybody’s much happier. i also send to pick up my mom for visits with me. she doesn’t love to drive the freeways these days so i send an to pick her up and she loves chatting up the drivers to find out what they’re all about. by the time she gets to my house, she’s made a new friend in the world! so make life a little easier on yourself and use the to get around safely and sanely.
