Very proud of this subreddit for not a single "OMG WTF WAS THAT??" during the Red Sox flyover

Obviously prices vary depending on time of day and such, but are uber prices generally high in Boston at this time? I went to check the Uber estimate and getting an Uber from around the Brookline area to Downtown is almost $50. I don't live here, was just thinking of visiting in the near future, is this normal? I thought maybe it's because I'm checking it currently and it's night time, but wasn't sure.

Pretty normal, Uber prices make zero sense The C and D green line subway goes to downtown as well.

I can get an Uber from Coolidge corner to the airport for $23 right now, including the airport tolls. I'd be shocked to see $50 unless it's 3am or like midnight on a friday

when are we going to get a meta thread? to say it's LONG overdue since the last one would be an understatement.
