But seriously, I would love it if Lyft came to Philly...I think they're waiting to see what happens with UberX around here. I know this probably isn't going to be a popular opinion around HN, but should Uber succeed at circumventing the law in Philadelphia, Lyft and Sidecar will surely follow. Prior to UberX, other companies like Sidecar attempted to set up shop and got shot down by the state. Perhaps that's one good thing that came out of all this mess, since Uber isn't afraid to step on toes to get places, they've caused one hell of a discussion in Philadelphia and have forced the cab companies to really step up their game, providing better services, cleaner vehicles and easier dispatching. It used to be so difficult to get a cab, nowadays I can't even imagine walking anywhere just because I think maybe cabs will be out there...
