Need A Ride From SJO At 1:30PM Tomorrow (29 Aug}
Free Republic ^ | 28 August 2017 | Windy

Posted on 08/28/2017 4:13:34 PM PDT by Windflier

Hi everyone,

I'm arriving at San Jose airport on Tuesday the 29th at 1:00PM, and need a short ride to my family's house a short distance away.

My 87 year old dad just passed and I'm flying in from Texas to attend his funeral. None of my family members can pick me up, and I don't want to put myself at the mercy of some Uber driver with piercings and tattoos, nor do I trust foreign taxi drivers.

If anyone in the San Jose area can give me a lift to my dad's house (less than ten miles), I'll be very grateful.

I'd rent a car, but my eyesight is just barely good enough for me to drive on familiar local streets. I dare not try it in an area I'm unfamiliar with.

Thank you!

So, so sorry to hear about your dad. If I was in San Jose I’d surely pick you up. I’m certain some caring Freeper will be there for you.

Ditto what SpaceJunkie said, my FRiend.

Bumping this back to the top in the expectation that someone from SJ will see it and respond.

Thank you for the kind words.

Dad and the family were mentally prepared for his passing. It hurts, as any loss does, but we expected it.

Sorry for the loss of your dad. My siblings and I buried our 87 yr old dad three weeks ago this afternoon. I pray that God comforts you and provides you with a safe commute.

I used uber many times and they were just ordinary people who showed up within 2 minutes
I have no idea where you got the tatoo stuff

Thanks for the correction. The SJO designation stuck in my head from my Teamster years, three decades ago.

My kids have used Uber or Lyft over 100 times already. It is cheap and there is a record with the company who is picking you up. So much safer than climbing into a street cab with foreign driver.
