Hurrah, Hurrah! UberXL has come to Philly, which means that next time you go
to a downtown, you can truly ride in style. Nothing says, “I’m ready to party!”
like showing up to a club in a soccer mom’s minivan. It’s cool but not, like, mainstream.
Did Uber introduce this latest service just to stick it to Lyft? Call it mere speculation, but we're certainly suspicious.
That said, we welcome the opportunity to jump into one of these bad boys, whose roomy interior and sliding doors will surely remind us of our family’s SUV. Alas, the only drawback to UberXL is that few will be available from 3-5 p.m., because kids across the city will be getting picked up from practice.
