text: Uber and Lyft are obvious solutions. When I travel I use both, never had a problem anywhere. Track their progress to you, estimated fair is within a $1, newer cars, nice drivers who normally offer a water and actually get out to load your luggage, don't have useless conversations nor willing to offend passengers because you rate each ride and driver. Last two times we have been picked up at our house here taxi drivers in Anchorage arrive 30 minutes early, call you and tell you they are waiting outside and don't get out to help load luggage. 
  
  Nothing terrible but I prefer good, reasonable and reliable service.  Ask tourists in Anchorage what they think of public transportation and taxi companies. Someone in this town has blinders on and ear protection in to avoid the complaints and not see long waits and 10 year old Fords that are let's be nice and say well worn.  Would there be another reason we are one of only a few hold out states?  Don't like Uber don't use it but offer it at least
