We’ve come a long way from pre-booked cab services from a decade earlier. And as irritating as it maybe to wait for what seems like an eternity, ride share apps are now a way of life. Between multiple Uber taxi ride options and Uber Auto, Uber Seaways doesn’t seem like a proposition that’s going to fly. What’s been the farthest distance between you and a Uber driver?
