Reply to comment by lunar_unit in Staples mill train Thursday mornings? by Cheap-Ad7916

6:05. My husband can give me a ride if need be, as It would be recurring on some Thursdays. I’ve looked into Uber and taxis, but it’s $30-$40 for 3 1/2 mile ride. Just wondering if others make the commute and leave their cars during the day!

For one day, I'd leave my car. For multiple days aka overnight, I wouldn't leave my car there unless I absolutely had to.

Yeah, if it were just one day, I wouldn’t mind paying the $10. But when I go I generally stay to the four days.

For me it's less about the money and more about the safety of my car.

Lyft is saying ~$18.00 for a scheduled 5:15am pickup near St. Mary's to the Amtrak station. If you don't schedule ahead, you might have to wait a little longer but it would be cheaper.

Good to know! I checked with Uber and they quoted $43. Henrico cab $28.

That really sounds high from Uber, I wonder why? The early hour or the scheduling? Only saying so because I occasionally take Ubers about 4-5 miles around the near west end after one too many drinks and it's never been more than like $16.

I think maybe the scheduling. I priced it for a Saturday morning at 6.

Whoa! What a rip off!

I hope you can find a car pool/commuter option.
