That's encouraging. With luck there will either be taxis waiting or they can be summoned on short notice.

You can't predict which one will be cheaper until you actually try to order a rideshare.
Uber and Lyft have been relatively stable in price and pickup time, at least when I've checked. I was more wondering why someone would pass a long line of available taxis to get an Uber/Lyft.

Anyway, I'm less concerned about price (within reason) than time and hassle. Based on posts so far, the T7 taxi stand seems the best. With luck there would either be waiting taxis or they could be summoned quickly.
