Rules for ride-hailing
Among the conditions Uber and Lyft need to meet to receive a permit to pick up LAX passengers:
•Picking up and dropping off passengers on the upper departure level only.
•Paying $4 to the airport for every pickup and drop-off, a fee that will probably be passed on to the passengers.
•Restricting the number of drivers in the terminal area to 40 at a time.
•Creating a digital “geo-fence” that will prevent drivers from picking up ride requests on nearby residential streets.
•Keeping auditable records on driver activity at the airport, including the number of trips.
