I was at a conference in Frankfurt, traveling back to Amsterdam with my cofounder and got stuck in Oberhausen. We have an early flight tomorrow and there's no trains in NL due to a strike tomorrow morning, so we decided to take an uber home.

At first the delay was 30 minutes. Then 2 hours. After 1h30 with zero updates we decided to bail. Just checked and nothing is moving yet, so we made the right call.

Yeah, definitely. Hope you can get to your plane on time and that you can expense the uber trip, that’s a pretty long ride from what I see on gmap
So a 2h ride? Was it easy to find a driver?
Yes and yes. Uber for 260 eur arrived within 5 minutes after booking.
