## What it is
A Node.js command-line tool that fetches Uber ride time-to-pickup and price estimates directly from the terminal using the Uber API. It converts human-readable addresses to coordinates via the Google Maps Geocoding API.

## Use cases
- check uber price estimates from the terminal
- get uber pickup time estimates without opening the app
- compare ride cost before deciding to take the bus
- look up uber estimates for a start and end address
- quickly see how far away the nearest uber is

## When to choose
- you live in the terminal and want quick Uber price or pickup-time checks
- you want a lightweight npm-installed CLI for ride estimates

## When to avoid
- you need booking or ride-hailing functionality, not just estimates
- you need a maintained tool - the last release was in 2020 and the Uber API it relies on may have changed
- you need a GUI or mobile experience

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool

- function: cli, http-client, geospatial
- domain: developer-tools, travel
