SFO's rocky start offers a cautionary tale to Los Angeles International Airport, which will ban Uber, Lyft and taxi pickups from the curb in three weeks.
Travelers looking for a taxi, Uber or Lyft from LAX will have to take a shuttle or walk to a parking lot next to Terminal 1 to book their rides.
The pickup area will have one entrance and exit for drivers, and a separate entrance for shuttles. Uber and Lyft drivers will approach from the north, on Sky Way, and make a left turn across the roadway to enter the lot. The intersection will be staffed 24 hours a day by a traffic officer, Wilschetz said.
Travelers will reach the area by boarding bright green shuttles at the terminals, or by walking. The shuttles are supposed to arrive every three to five minutes, and will make a maximum of two stops before going to the pickup lot.The longest travel time to the pickup area on the shuttle would be from Terminal 1, with an estimated travel time of about 15 minutes, officials said. Walking from Terminal 1 would take three minutes at a speed of 2 mph.
