Lyft provides the same service as Uber, yet on the way to Logan airport, it DOES NOT charge tolls or any other arbitrary surcharge! It only charges tolls when they are incurred. I took Lyft from the financial district and it cost me $10

Great tip, I didn't realize they didn't charge any fees/tolls.
That is rough on the drivers though. They make about $8 before gas/car/insurance, and then have to pay a $3.50 toll or drive an extra 15 minutes back to busier parts (they can't pick up at Logan, and East Boston has low demand). I sure wouldn't want to make $3 for taking someone on a 30 minute round-trip ride to Logan.
