Anyone tested them yet?

Do they have lots of drivers?

not trying to ride anywhere now but a quick check shows that since the promotion was announced theres not really any cars available in the city. they show they can come from jersey but who would want to wait for that.

exactly. I mean, it's pretty expected that everyone is using it today. I'm sure itll die down in the next few days or a week. I also find it funny that the default wait time when there are no cars around is 18 min it seems like.

You do, but only in a Gett DeLorean.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

it only started saying 18 min default once this deal came out as they are probably very busy. Pre-booking is a smart idea if you know when you need it.

Is pre-booking dead? Keeps telling me future booking is not available.

everyone should check their credit card statements because they charged me $1.25 on 2 different accounts without riding or anything. Not that the money is a big deal but still
