A Philadelphia lawmaker announced Friday that she will introduce legislation to cap surge pricing for transportation network companies in Pennsylvania during large-scale events. On June 5, State Rep. Morgan Cephas, D-Phila, said the proposed legislation would limit surge prices set by TNCs, such as Uber and Lyft, to 20% above what a driver is paid for that trip. The lawmaker said currently, fares can rise two to five times the normal rate during large events, such as concerts and sporting events
