Allegheny County District Attorney Stephen A. Zappala Jr.said there are areas in the city and county where "cab companies quite frankly have said, 'We're not going to go there.' So there is a need for jitneys."
His office is more concerned about a spike lately in fake cab drivers picking up intoxicated women on the city's South Side, and plans to install license plate recognition technology in the entertainment district to track them and other lawbreakers.
Comparatively, "to run a jitney is not that serious of a crime," Mr. Zappala said. "... There's a niche and people have filled that niche. I don't know that it's a good thing, but people have to get around."
