Transportation Corner: Higher Fares for Solo Travelers and Women-Only Rides on Uber, Legionnaires Outbreak in NYC, Toronto and Montreal Tennis Check-In, F1 Silly Season, US vs UK Topic of the Week: Gilded Age vs Downton Abbey, Gilded Age S3E7

In which we discuss our possible rebrand as a transportation podcast, the news that solo travelers are being charged up to 70% more for their fares on US-based airlines, and Uber beta testing women-only rides. This leads Sumner to share the experience of her worst Lyft ride ever. We also brainstorm how Alexa will avoid getting Legionnaire's disease now that there is an outbreak in New York. In tennis, we check in on the semifinals in both Toronto and Montreal while also noting that Djokovic has decided to withdraw from Cincinnati. In F1, we have begun silly season (AKA the official summer break when the rumors flow) and Lewis Hamilton made an announcement that he would be making an announcement on 8/8. We speculate about what the announcement may be. For the US vs UK topic of the week, we discuss the Julian Fellowes universe comparing Downton Abbey to Gilded Age, weaving in our reaction to Gilded Age S3E7 throughout.
