A few years back, I used Lyft exclusively for this, then post COVID, the rates about doubled. They no longer are close to competitive with cabs, and the cabs are just as nice/clean/whatever. The cab company has a fixed rate by area. I'm not sure how Lyft/Uber are hanging around now, what once was a really neat phone feature now is pricey crap. Maybe a shorter cab ride is pricier.
I'm fine walking to the MARTA station, but my wife is apparently delicate.
