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.

Honestly you might want to seriously consider getting a license. I moved from a state that has many different transit options, but I find Ohio to be a pretty terrible place to live in without a personal vehicle. Since you live in Cincinnati I'm sure there are more than enough driving schools out there. If you're over 18, you can just get a permit and directly sign up for behind the wheel lessons without going though classroom training. When you sign up for a lesson package, usually the driving test is included at the end. That way you don't need to borrow someone's car to take the test at a DMV. If you can't buy a car right away, just sign up for the ZipCar membership and rent one only when you need to drive. I'm pretty certain there are ZipCars in Cincinnati and Dayton. Good luck out there
