We have not priced Uber/Lyft here in TV, but did calculate the cost back in NC a few years back. Our hometown has about the same population as here. My job was less than 10 miles from our home and was curious if I could use Uber/Lyft instead of maintaining a car. The cost for Uber/Lyft was much more than a car pmt, ins, tags & maintenance for a vehicle. My guess is they would be much cheaper if you live in a big city like New York or Chicago where there are big prices just for parking a vehicle.

In another example if I took an UBER right now from my house (near Eastport) to Brownwood it would cost $49 plus tip. At peak times it would be more. It is quite pricey compared to everywhere else I have lived or travelled.
