Do you have a credit card you can use?
Wait the article says you can only place orders for pick up - not very helpful...
I would assume you could get a ride pretty quickly but I am not 100% sure.
Are they the actual cars used in the movies or just look a likes?
Open the Lyft app tomorrow morning at 4am and see if any drivers are around in your area to get an idea if there will be someone available on the 30th.
Like Uber? What are you looking for here?

There is no way to make strangers giving strangers rides perfectly safe.

My old hometown used to use old police cars for taxis so the backseat was like a plastic bench. For once this terrible taxi idea might come in handy for protecting riders against covid.
In reality though, I don't think touch has much of an impact on catching Covid. Seems like people are getting it from aerosol particles. I want to see these taxi companies driver people around with windows down and masks on!
I dont know where iseltown is? But perhaps a local cab company? Most rideshares dont take cash, at least not any of the big ones.

I am pretty sure those are all scams, stick with the driving hustle.
I would love to see Uber work with any drivers - that would be fascinating...
How will they make money then?
