If you’ve read my book, you know I am a fan of rideshares for events that don’t occur very often. You can avoid walking to/from your vehicle, dark parking garages, etc. However, I did run into a problem the other day. I went to a downtown area that had two large events. We were dropped off at the event without an issue. Once the events had started, the streets were prepared for people leaving the events. Unfortunately, this setup prevented rideshare cars from getting close to the event. As a result, we had to walk a decent distance to get a rideshare, which defeats the purpose.
In short, you’ll want to research before attending an event like the one I just described. You may be able to park closer to the event (as long as the parking location is safe and you can walk to it easily) then you can get picked up by a rideshare!
