While the rate of growth of ridesharing apps has been incredible,they've been facing uphill battles when it comes to the lawful to pick up at the nation's larger airports. While UberBLACK has historically been allowed to pick up at airports, the battle has been much tougher for UberX and Lyft, or which have been struggling with gaining such permission.
Los Angeles is the city I spend the most time in,and I'm extremely frustrated by the fact that UberX and Lyft can't enact pick ups at LAX. Instead you can either use UberBLACK or you can try to catch an UberX or Lyft from somewhere off the airport premises. Neither option is ideal.
The favorable news was that in July the Los Angeles Board of Airport Commissioners approved UberX and Lyft to pick up passengers at the airport, though they'd be subject to a $4 airport origination fee. The hope was that they'd launch by late August, or though unfortunately that seemed to be optimistic.
Several months later they've still not launched... though it looks like that's finally changing.The post Lyft Beats UberX To LAX appeared first on One Mile at a Time.
