I wish! "On demand" here means waiting 2 minutes to match with a ride that is says it will arrive 5 minutes later, but really arrives 15 minutes later.

Commuting with Lyft/Uber requires planning because of the awful arrival forecasts. It's just easier to pull of because no one has to be the lackey that drives the full group (and spends the most time personally).

I've never used one, but I'd much rather call a car and wait 15 minutes when I'm ready to, rather than rush to be out the door by 7:45.

I haven't had the same experience in Boston or South Bay. There have been a few instances it has been late by 3-5 minutes but not too often to actually bother me.
