'If we want to get out of the airport faster, we will have to be the change we want to see at the airport, and that may sometimes involve riding a shuttle bus.' jbarro writes
So when I heard last month that Los Angeles International Airport would ban curbside pickup by taxis and rideshare companies, requiring arriving passengers to walk or take a shuttle to a remote “LAX-it” parking lot to find an Uber, I reacted the way a lot of people do to such changes: by whining on social media.
If you follow the #laxit hashtag on Twitter you’ll see the ongoing garment-rending over this change, but I took my first trip through the LAX-it on Sunday and it was … fine? I walked out of Terminal 4 at 12:33 p.m. and was in the backseat of a Lyft pulling onto Sepulveda Boulevard at 1:04 p.m. Half an hour to leave the airport campus isn’t great, but traffic jams often made it time-consuming to leave the airport under the old curbside-pickup system.
To that end, effective today the airport has enlarged the LAX-it area by 50 percent, creating more lanes and more pickup spots in an effort to improve throughput and shorten lines. With this enlargement, the lot now has two separate entrances — one for Uber cars and taxis, another for Lyft cars — which is a change that airport officials hope will reduce negative traffic effects in the surrounding area.
