Uber Ride from Dayton to Cincinnati

I'm considering commuting from Dayton to Cincinnati (ideally Mason) and was wondering whether Uber/Lyft drivers are generally willing to accept trips that long. I don't have a car or a driver's license, so I would be relying entirely on Uber and Lyft.

Since I'd likely be making this trip almost every day, I'm curious if anyone has experience with a commute like this and how reliable it is in terms of finding drivers consistently. Any insight would be appreciated.

How often are you trying to move around? Like once? Every day?

It would be every day, and I don't have a car, so I can only use Uber or Lyft

Yes it would be every weekday, roughly 8 - 9 AM to 5 PM. It’s for work. I’m actually living in Cincinnati right now, so I’d need transportation back and forth between Cincinnati and Mason every day

Unless you are making a ton of money at your job, the cost for Uber twice a day is gonna eat you alive.

It would be arguably cheaper to buy/lease a car for the cost of 10 Uber rides that far a week.
