Drivers who work for Uber/Lyft have an app that tells them when someone wants a ride
Riders have an app that allows them to request a ride
When a rider requests a ride, the software determines the price based on distance and driver availability
The rider chooses chooses a car type and requests a ride
The software advertises the requested ride to the drivers who choose whether to accept it
When a driver accepts, he begins driving to the pickup point
The software informs the rider that a driver is coming, how far away he is, and what car he will be in
The driver arrives, the rider gets in, and the driver drives to the destination
There are Uber/Lyft drivers in the area. However, there are not many which means the price is higher for the same distance than it would be other places like Tampa or Orlando.
If you have a destination in mind I can tell you what the price would be at the moment from Brownwood.
