“Dear PoPville,
Has anyone else noticed a particular shortage of Ubers at DCA recently? The last few times I’ve tried to get a car over the past month, the app searched for 5-10 minutes and then cancelled. This has happened at peak and non peak airport times. Don’t have the same issue with Lyfts and have just tried the taxi line too, but wondering if anyone else has experienced the same and/or knows what’s going on.”

“Dear PoPville,
I’m considering whether to use a car share service this year but the reviews have been discouraging. I would appreciate advice and/or recommendations from our community.”

“Dear PoPville,
I wanted to let people know about a terrible experience I had with a car sharing company recently, and I really hope no one’s experiencing anything similar this long weekend. A few weeks back, my boyfriend and I rented a Free2Move car for a weekend trip to Pennsylvania. We’ve done this a few times before, but this time around the car stopped working on our first night away. The company has customers use their app to unlock and start the car, and the car completely failed to connect to our phones even though we were in an open parking lot where we both had great signal. Free2Move was unable to unlock or start the car – or even locate it on their app – and proceeded to completely abandon us. They didn’t offer another car, wouldn’t pay for any other kind of way to get around or get home, and to this day have never even followed up to find out if we made it back to DC. We weren’t able to do anything on the trip other than spend our time on the phone with customer service, and walk along the highway to get food. Read More
“Dear PoPville,
I’m wondering if any of your readers have had any luck updating their license information in Free2Move. Read More

“Dear PoPville,
I was curious whether folks have noticed that Lyft and Uber prices have *skyrocketed* lately (well beyond any explanation of a fuel surcharge)? Trying to go from Shaw to Brentwood tonight was $44 on Lyft or $17 on Uber. The other night getting from Chinatown to U Street was $40 on both apps. What’s going on? Is this knock on effects of confusing mask-related guidance? Or is there something else happening?”
