Now that Uber & Lyft are gone, what does Austin use for ride-sharing services?

[Guest021417]

Will be coming to Austin next weekend. What reliable ride-sharing services are available? I would prefer not to download an app.

Thanks!

with Fare and Fasten being the most popular of them all.
Not sure how would you get around the "not download the app" part for ridesharing.

Uber is not gone. You can still use uber on the outskirts as close in as wells branch on the north side and get dropped off anywhere in Austin. There is also FASTEN. it's pretty good and I have not heard any bad things about it as of yet

"Ride sharing?" LOL. Ride sharing is when someone is driving somewhere and asks other people if they want to ride along and maybe share gas money. That's what "sharing" is. What Uber and Lift do is not sharing. They are for-profit hired taxi cab services trying to get away with not conforming to the laws and regulations the public enacted to ensure safety and fairness in pricing. In particular Uber and Lift escalate their rates dramatically whenever there's an event and their services are needed. Uniformity in pricing and protection against gouging are at the heart of taxi regulations in all 50 states. If they want to be a fucking taxi service they should follow the laws like everyone else.
