Lyft expands Chicago-area service north to Milwaukee and west to Elgin
Ride-sharing service Lyft is expanding its service in the Chicago area to go as far north as Milwaukee and as far west as Elgin. “The main reason is we saw a lot of drop-offs in those areas, but people couldn’t get picked up in those areas,” Jean-Paul Biondi, the company’s Chicago marketing lead, told the Tribune. Lyft’s service already went as far south as Joliet. [Tribune]
