PITTSBURGH

A second popular app-based ride-booking service operator is now allowed to pick up passengers at Pittsburgh International Airport.

The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reports the Allegheny County Airport Authority’s board of directors voted Friday to give Lyft a transportation network company permit.

The permit costs $12,000 a year and requires a one-time, $14,000 security deposit.

Lyft started operating in Pittsburgh in 2014. Uber, another app-based car service company, received the same type of permit in June.
