“from downtown New York City to the West Side”

$50 is what you’d expect if you lived in nyc, or been there enough

Not from the area, what’s the deal/context?

I’m assuming it’s a traffic cluster fuck?

[–] KevonLooney@lemm.ee 12 points 2 years ago (13 children)

It's 5 to 7 miles, possibly in traffic. 20 to 50 minutes, depending on the time of day. It's like $30, but could double during rush hour or any popular time of day.

So yeah, $50 whenever you want to go. $30 in the middle of the night.
