IN A REPORT BY WTAJ, SOME DRIVERS IN CENTRE COUNTY SAY IT IS BECOMMING INCREASINGLY DIFFICULT TO GET WORK NOW BECAUSE OF THE METEORIC RISE IN GASOLINE PRICES. ONE DRIVER SAID THAT HE WORKS IN BLAIR AND CENTRE COUNTIES AND THAT FILLING UP THE TANK IS REQUIRING THAT HE PICK UP MORE RIDES TO HELP DEFRAY THE COSTS. THE DRIVER SAID THAT UBER AND LYFT WILL NOT INCREASE THE COST OF THEIR SERVICES, SO DRIVERS HAVE TO PAY THE INCREASED COSTS OUT OF THIER POCKETS. THE DRIVER SAID THAT SOME GAS STATIONS OFFER DISCOUNTS TO THE SERVICE COMPANIES, BUT NONE IN OUR AREA.
