Legality was short-lived for Uber and ?? ??? ??Lyft in Philadelphia.
A July agreement to legalize ride-sharing in the city ran out on Friday, leaving the two main ride-hailing companies in limbo.
The Pennsylvania legislature approved a temporary agreement in July to legalize the services in Philly. An extension of the agreement doesn't look likely and there are no immediate plans to permanently allow ride-sharing, according to the Philly Voice.
Uber and Lyft are now operating without the approval of the Philadelphia Parking Authority, as they did before July's agreement.
"Today we made an emergency filing with the PPA to extend the existing ride-sharing regulations that have been in place since the summer," an Uber spokesperson said. "We will continue operating in compliance with these legal requirements. We are hopeful the General Assembly will keep the commitment it has made to take up comprehensive ridesharing legislation in October."
When the temporary legislation passed, Uber warned its Philadelphia customers that the agreement would expire.
"Our work is not done," Uber General Manager for Philadelphia Jon Feldman wrote in a blog post at the time. "This temporary authorization will expire on September 30, 2016 unless Harrisburg takes action to finalize pending legislation. We look forward to working with the General Assembly in the fall to pass comprehensive ridesharing legislation, ensuring that Philadelphia has access to options like uberX and uberPOOL for the long term."
Money gained from taxing Uber and Lyft during their brief legal phase had been directed in part to the School District of Philadelphia.
Ride-sharing is legal throughout the rest of Pennsylvania.
UPDATE: Oct. 6, 2016, 5:11 p.m. EDT
A judge on Oct. 6 ordered both Uber and Lyft to stop operating some of their ride-hailing services in Philadelphia. For Uber, the ruling applies to UberX but not UberBlack.
The ruling stems from a separate lawsuit, but followed the expiration of the agreement that legalized the companies. The parking authority responded to the judge's order that both services were "now illegal."
