Yeah most of us no longer accept rides going *to* LAX now because it's no longer profitable to pick up passengers *from* LAX. If I take a passenger to LAX, once I drop them off I have two options: (1) I can go to the waiting lot, which takes approximately 45 minutes or more to get a passenger; or (2) leave the airport and hope to catch a ride nearby. If I choose (1), any profit I could have made is more than offset by the wait time, so it's a net loss; If I choose (2), I'm just riding around Inglewood, which is a shithole that almost never provides quality fares. So at this point, the only drivers who are doing drop-offs/pick-ups to/from LAX are either ones who live nearby, are new/inexperienced, or have very poor judgement (not someone I'd feel safe riding in a car with).

Passengers need to walk 30 minutes away from the airport east on century or north of sepulveda and request a ride over there.

Whoever thought of this idea should be fired. What they should have done is make parts of the parking garages the Uber pickup.

And what if they are already having issues with enough space in the garage? Which is the reason I assume they moved the pick-up lot further away, too much traffic.

Many Uber and Lyft drives stoped driving because of low pay and companies sometimes take up %50 of what pax pay

@Chosen One Watch any of the ride share driver videos about how Uber an Lyft cheat you as a customer. They charge you more fir your ride. Then pay less than 75% to the driver. Sometimes 40%. You should just pay miles and minutes and base fare. Not the exuberant service fee that changes at the unknown algorithm of the computer. Share you screen shot of your fee with your driver and you will see the difference. Better to request your ride with no destination entered. Then give driver destination when he starts ride. The unfront price is not being honest with you.

Lyft takes 60% actually. I am refusing all rides from LAX until they make more changes.

[@RevMarket]

Robert Owens I have had them take 70% several times.

Uber and Lyft have been a challenge for drivers to earn a decent living - but they also wrecked the taxi business too - but the taxi commissions are crooks with outrageous, criminal prices to get a medallion -

This is a good thing..... makes less people come to this already overly-congested city..... My favorite part of the year is thanksgiving, when everyone goes back to the eastcoast to their families and city is dead..... Me and my glass of wine living in the good old Venice that I know
