A proposed Chicago ordinance would mean more expensive Uber and Lyft trips for travelers going to and from O’Hare Airport or other parts of the city.

The ordinance creating a 10-cent fee per ride was introduced Wednesday by 10th Ward Ald. Susan Sadowski Garza and referred to the City Council’s Committee on License and Consumer Protection.
