Uber and Lyft are in Business in Binghamton
Ride-sharing is in business in Binghamton. The ride-sharing apps for Uber and Lyft activated at midnight June 29.
The launch of ride-sharing in areas outside of New York City was moved up several days in order to be in place in time for the July 4 holiday.
