LAX Proposes Skyrocketing Pickup Fees for Ride-Hailing Services, Taxis, and Limousines; Uber Cries Foul
Los Angeles International Airport is considering a significant increase in pickup and drop-off fees for ride-hailing services, taxis, and limousines. The proposed hike aims to reduce curb congestion and promote the use of the new SkyLink automated people mover, set to open later this year. Current fees of four to five dollars each way could jump to six dollars soon and then twelve dollars at the central terminals once SkyLink starts. This would make LAX one of the priciest airports for curbside fees, with a potential one hundred forty percent increase in round-trip costs. Ride-hailing companies like Uber are pushing back against the proposal, arguing that it hurts travelers, families, and seniors who rely on affordable rides. The Los Angeles Board of Airport Commissioners will vote on the changes on March tenth.
