Well now theres a new kid on the block called lyft. Both rides sharing Services Carry a lot of controversy along with their passengers. Fox 29s Joanne Pileggi is live in Rittenhouse Square tonight. Joanne, whats the latest . Reporter chris lyft another Ride Sharing Service launched in the city tonight joining uber x a Ride Sharing Service. Both of them are unregulated and for now illegal. Some people say they dont care. Theyll use it any way. Others are not happy about this Ride Sharing Service. Its killing us. Its really really hurting us a lot. In fact they were lined up today two or three of them in inn x fin in when the wing bowl they were in the cab line. Reporter gone are the days of hailing a cab or waiting in line for a taxi. You can get a ride by using an app on your smart phone. Personally i love uber. Theyre prompt. Theyre quick. Theyre very very courteous. Theyre always theres always one available. Like as soon as you use the app theres win three minutes you have a car picking you up. I called for cabs before and sometimes waiting 15, 20 minutes roar report customers have been getting rides from uber x for months theyre not the only Ride Sharing Service in fill up. California start up lyft started service in the city tonight creating another option for people who need a ride and arent choosing traditional taxis. Its a competitive market. You always have to be better. Blockbuster wasnt better, you know hollywood wasnt better netflix took over. Uber x and lyft is a better service. I always like the drivers theyve given me and its cheaper. Whew why would i pay more to sit in a dirty cab when i eye sit in a car for less money. The ppa warned drivers would be fined and arrested the cars would be impounded if they were caught in the city because they were acting as unlicensed cabs. A lot of city leaders say that needs to change but some citizens disagree. People are getting into these cars and theyre being driven and theres a licensing process in place and i wouldnt use them until they were licensed just on principle really. Reporter opponents say the Ride Share ServiceCompanies Need some regulation to ensure safety of passengers. Users say they are comfortable with the new convenient service. Interesting to night if an app is what riders or users want, traditional Cab Companies are getting in on the act. Freedom taxi we saw couple of cars goodbye tonight. They are advertising an app on their car so that rider which is use that. This may be ultimately decided by some level of government.
