In October 2014 Uber began offering its ride hailing app in Philadelphia. Lyft, its major competitor in the region, came to Philadelphia a few months later. In just three months during this past summer 2016, the companies made a combined $53 million in the city.

Residents of the city of Philadelphia were invited to share their insight on how the technology has changed their way of getting around.
