Planning a trip to Houston in August. Normally, when I hobby outside of my home city, I request incall and use mass transit to get to the incall so I can save a couple of bucks. I'm pretty sure I've heard that Houston is a large city (mileage wise) and mass transit isn't as developed here as NYC/DC/Philly/Chicago/etc.  

For Houston, should I just suck it up and get a hotel and request outcall or should I bank on a provider being accessible by mass transit?

Most providers will have an incall or can provide one; as long as you give them notice. On other boards there are list of providers with private incalls and some inform you of the area or you can ask-uber is big here and not expensive. The other option would of course provide a location for a provider to come to you.Although, it will be some time before you visit, and things may change, I'd suggest you get a top 3, communicate with them, get screened and that way once you are here you can have something set up or have a better idea of things. Good Luck!

Thank you. Option 1 seems best.  

I remember one (anonymous) provider on twitter saying if someone requests an incall with her, they need to have a car because she doesn't want uber/taxis knowing where she lives. I guess that's just her thoughts on the matter, and not necessarily a consensus.
