helen haywood Posted September 11, 2017 #1 Share Posted September 11, 2017 I know Uber suspended service over the weekend. I can't find any information if they are back up and running.... Any Miamians (hopefully safe and dry) know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Host CJSKIDS Posted September 11, 2017 #2 Share Posted September 11, 2017 I know Uber suspended service over the weekend. I can't find any information if they are back up and running.... Any Miamians (hopefully safe and dry) know? I highly doubt it. Over 70% of the gas stations are out of gas at the moment and power is out to around 80% of Miami. Lots of trees and damages to roads.

wrk2cruise Posted September 12, 2017 #3 Share Posted September 12, 2017 I too am interested in how this progresses as the week goes on. I'm traveling on Thursday and was planning on using Uber/Lyft to get from FLL to MIA airport area hotel. If these services are not available do any of the locals have a suggestion for the best way to make this trip under these circumstances? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

helen haywood Posted September 12, 2017 Author #7 Share Posted September 12, 2017 I can't find anyway on their site to ask if they are working in Miami...so thought I'd ask locals. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geeko1 Posted September 12, 2017 #8 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Yeah I don't see anything either either doesn't look like they're smart enough to handle the situation, sorry about that. The problem is with flooding and no gas it's going to be really hit and miss for a while Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awhcruiser Posted September 12, 2017 #9 Share Posted September 12, 2017 I will try the UBER app on Friday morning to get to the port. If not will probably take a taxi; The shuttle to the port will be packed, and who knows how many people they can take at one time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

awhcruiser Posted September 12, 2017 #11 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Good to know. That most likely will be our way to the port.

helen haywood Posted September 12, 2017 Author #20 Share Posted September 12, 2017 I'm not going to be in Miami until Thursday. Wanted to try to get one that day and Friday.

BNBR Posted September 13, 2017 #22 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Uber is back up and gas is rapidly becoming available. As of right now, it's not such an issue anymore. Still recovering, but transportation is generally back up and running normally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still recovering, but transportation is generally back up and running normally. that's good to hear. My husband had to commute to Fort Lauderdale today from Brickell for work. A fight broke out in the gas station he was at since on Federal Highway near the port as one of the vans from a hotel came in the wrong way and tried to cut everyone else.

That's why so many stations have police officers directing traffic. Many had cones setup for traffic flow. Yours is not the first story I've heard about from friends about fights at stations. We just finally got our communications back at the office so we can reopen, just 2 hours ago. It's been a VERY rough week, as our business is international and not being able to operate is just brutal. But it's nice getting back to some normalcy.

Rare Host CJSKIDS Posted September 14, 2017 #25 Share Posted September 14, 2017 I can see Uber is up and running here on Brickell. Right now at there are 8 cars in the area. Less than there normally would be but they are running! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
