Uber and Lyft

If you're not really feeling public transport to get in, out, or around Boston, Uber or Lyft are great app-based car services that are cheaper then a cab ride. You simply download the app add either your credit card or Paypal information and go. Most people are familiar with Uber, however, Lyft is also a great option for shorter rides. Lyft will give you $5 off up to ten rides in the Boston area so, if you're trying to get from Harvard Square to Fenway, you could get a free ride.
