    The example provided is A$1000 (per seat) for a 1 hour flight (London to Paris).. even if I was out of my mind and decided to pay that, I doubt I'd be able to convince any family members to join me lol

    I'd like to Uber out my boat, maybe something to do when I retire shortly.
    Would be willing to slash the trip time of the Bundeena to Cronulla ferry from 30 mins to sub 10 mins too.
    Will do trips around the Port Hacking region.

    Dear Uber. We are unintetested in participating in peak hour road traffic or being squashed into trains. Could you possibly advise on the alternate transportation options you offer. Thanks! Ps we do love Jetson-mobiles. Kind regards, citizens of capital cities.

    It's $US9000 for a year of unlimited flying? That could be good.
