Uber and Lyft took one step closer to legal status in Philadelphia yesterday, as the Pennsylvania House unanimously passed a long-stalled bill legalizing and regulating the popular ride-hailing apps.

Harrisburg politicians are costing Philly schools money by letting ride-hailing services lapse back into illegal status. 

The state of ride-hailing apps like Uber X and Lyft is murkier than ever in Philadelphia as of last Friday, but an end to the drama is within sight.

Jim Saksa at PlanPhilly notes that while the law temporarily legalizing ride-hailing apps like Uber and Lyft in Philadelphia doesn't officially lapse until tomorrow, Harrisburg already went on recess Wednesday so there isn't going to be a last-minute fix.

Uber X and other ride-hailing services will be illegal again in Philly in just two days, as a state law that temporarily legalized the service during the DNC is about to expire.
