Uber Competitor Comes to Philly

Another day, another service that will bring us one step closer to making moving our limbs utterly obsolete. 

Lyft, a ride-sharing service that competes with Uber, has announced that it will be coming to Philadelphia this Friday. While we were pretty content with Uber-ing around town, Lyft gets a few points for in their announcement shouting out to the possibly fictional "Renee, a grad student at the University of Pennsylvania" as one of their exemplary friendly drivers.

Additionally, Lyft drivers will adorn their cars with "Glowstaches," aka giant pink pornstaches akin to your grandma's seasonal reindoor car antlers.

Based on what we remember from that blessed semester with Rebecca Stein, we can only hope that Lyft's arrival introduces competition and drives down prices, thereby bringing the opportunity cost of Uber/Lyft-ing below that of actually walking to your Econ lecture.
