Yeah, they usually show up within 5 mins...unless you're in some way remote place. As far as waiting, no need. You just call another one and it'll be there right away

Wow! That would really help us out! Thanks for answering.

Then the shuttles would drive in some crazy route where I would end up arriving a lot later...and then the frustration of paying $32 for what would be $35 in a regular cab (and way less on Uber/Lyft). Trying to get to the airport is a whole different story. Ever tried to get a SuperShuttle on short notice? Not happening without some drama from them about not reserving 24 hours in advance. Taxi cartel or not, I think their service and product is of poor value and I'm glad they're not here at PDX. As far as getting to PDX, I'm in a part of Hillsboro that's not near a Max station. I take a Lyft to Beaverton TC and hop the Max from there. Way quicker and way more convenient that SuperShuttle.

Interesting. But that has not been my experience. I wait 15 minutes for a SuperShuttle going to the section of town I'm going to, and maybe an extra 15 minutes dropping off someone else. From PDX to Milwaukie, say, I'd be looking at a $40 cab fare, and a bit more than half that for a shuttle.
