Vent: That $9 shuttle in Lisbon cost me triple in the long run
Everyone swears by the cheap airport shuttle to city center, but mine dropped me 2 miles from my hostel in a sketchy alley after dark. Paid $27 for a cab the next morning to get my luggage sorted, so the so-called budget option was a trap. Anyone else skip the shuttle and just order a ride share from the gate?
A $9 shuttle that turned into a $36 lesson is the kind of math I do best, second only to my talent for picking the one alley in Lisbon with no streetlights. Now I just grab a ride share at the gate and pretend the extra cash is a tip for my own sanity.
