It's not illegal in other cities, and demand is undeniably high, so I predict PHL will reach some kind of deal and jump on board hopefully by the end of the year. I'll be checking my app from time to time at pickup to see when it's lifted. Until then, Lyft. Simple.

Partially wishful thinking, yes, but it's certainly not bad news for our case.
This should not even be a debate. It's the consumer's choice. Want an X, get an X. Want a black SUV, get one of those. Want to take a Super Shuttle, get one of those.

Other major airport authorities which predicted that the end of the world would come with ride sharing, are still functioning.
