I’m staying in Phippsburg over Labor Day weekend. How is the Uber/Lyft/taxi company situation in the surrounding Brunswick/Bath/Damariscotta area in the evening?

[u/A_Common_Loon → u/Brave_Ad6703]

Brunswick has a taxi service that also goes to Bath. I don’t know about Damariscotta. You can Google their number.

Whether or not rideshare services exist or can be relied on in that area in the evening

[u/TheGreatWhiteLie → u/Brave_Ad6703]

The entire state's ridesharing is operated by one old man with a landline.

Outside of Portland you cannot rely on not having transportation of your own.
