ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) - New York lawmakers have voted to let Uber and Lyft begin picking up passengers in upstate New York a little early.

The state Assembly voted Tuesday to allow the two ride-hailing apps to begin service in cities like Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse and Albany on June 29, 10 days earlier than allowed under an expansion proposal approved earlier this year.
