3 weeks agoHailing rides to and from LAX could get more expensive under new proposal
On Tuesday morning, Los Angeles World Airports board members are expected to vote on whether to increase the access fees for private transportation companies that ferry travelers to and from Los Angeles International Airport, which includes ride app companies such as Uber and Lyft, along with taxi and limousine companies. The thinking, according to airport officials, is to encourage riders to use the yet-to-open Automated People Mover, also known as Skylink, and to reduce vehicle traffic around the terminals.

What is a People Mover? People movers are neither moving walkways nor Tesla Tunnels. Instead, people movers refer to trains often used to shuttle passengers around airports. However, San Diego's APM would travel beyond the airport to connect to Trolley Lines at Santa Fe Depot and serve Civic Center (below) or the Convention Center. The APM would emulate Vancouver's Skytrain, whose 22.6-mile Expo Line serves urban neighborhoods far from any airport.
