LAX expands pickup lot, making way for more Ubers, Lyfts and taxis
LAX’s “LAXit” pickup area is rough for taxis and ride-hailing services. Freeloaders are packing courtesy shuttles. But limos and SuperShuttle see an upside.Lyft’s line had about 40 people at 10:35 a.m., but within 10 minutes, only a handful remained.
Some employees seemed frustrated by the new system, sighing or scratching their heads, but the stress didn’t seem to rub off on travelers. “It didn’t take too long. I kind of liked being able to get off my flight and into a car, but I understand. It helps there are so many people here guiding people.”“It’s better than wandering around,” said Parin Shah, 50, from Oakland, who waited a few minutes as a ride-share service guide apologized for not having a car ready immediately. “Normally having them wait in the queue, the way it used to be [with traffic], that was hideous. This is a lot faster.
