While we eagerly anticipate the dandruff of the gods this evening, it’s time for our semi-annual CarSplit PSA.
Started by a SEAS ’06er, Carsplit uses cool computery things to help you share cabs with other students you don’t know on the way to the airport this winter break.
It normally costs about $45 to get to JFK in a cab on a good day, so by sharing with two other people, you’re down to $15 plus tip and tolls. You’re welcome.

@S How long would the M60 take on Tuesday to LGA around 4 pm?
@J 45-60 minutes usually. For flight planning, allow for up to 90 min when traffic is bad (usually only during the morning/evening commutes, but every once in a while there’s an accident or something that makes the trek down 125th take ages).
@carsplit fan w00t
@carsplit fan eh? why don’t the o’s in “w000t” show up as zeroes?
@carsplit fan sry meant to say w000t
@carsplit fan w000t carsplit ftw
@New York I love you, but you have the worst public transportation options to airports, and you’re bringing me down.
@... A/D to Penn Station (20m)
LIRR to Jamaica (20m)
Airtrain to JFK (20m)
Slush/Transfers (25m)
Takes about $11 and 1:25… Cab takes about 1:00.
@A/D? Have you by any chance been locked in your room so much that you don’t realize that the subway line a few hundred feet from your dorm building is the 1/3?
@Rawesome Thank you Bwog!
@about 45? huh? it’s a flat-rate, $45 plus tolls and tip, ~=$60.
@Anish You’re right, I thought the flat rate was only from JFK to Manhattan, not the other way around. Fixed.
@December 25th flight? No one leaving for home on the 25th?
