Do you have a car? Most rationalists in Berkeley don’t, so unless it’s nearby or you’re doing one of a small set of public-transit compatible routes, Uber/Lyft are the only option.
Also note that the amortized cost of owning cars vs Lyft are moderately comparable, and if you’re not doing that much tracking Lyft / Uber comes out a lot cheaper

Unfortunately, a car is an unavoidable cost for me, I expect that is a large part of the difference.
For sure if you have a car it doesn’t make nearly as much sense to Uber places
I do have a car, but I don’t even live in the bay area and didn’t realize how many of you were in Berkeley. Makes sense now.
