OT: Uber questions
 
Did some research online, and it looks like Uber is available in the Kitchener Waterloo Area....

My wife is having surgery on her Right foot and likely will be in an air boot for a few weeks. She works part time at a physio clinic and wants to go back to work if possible a week after the surgery.

She works in downtown Waterloo ( 20 minute, 15kms away during 'rush hour' (starts at 9, finishes after 5))

The Uber website says $19-25 when I put the address's in the fare estimator?

Can you negotiate a fare? She would likely use the service for a few weeks until it's ok to take the airboot off to drive... Can she sign on with one Uber driver, and negotiate a price for the next couple trips?

Can't negotiate a fare (the only option you have now is to provide a tip). Also, you can't book a specific Uber driver through the app, but I suppose nothing would prevent you from trying to make an arrangement with a driver on your own.

Maybe she can negotiate something with a cab driver.

Many physio clinics use shuttle services/medical transport services. Maybe one of those could help.

Uber also has a "shared ride" service as well.
