LAX imposes hefty fee hikes on ride-hailing services like Uber and Lyft, aiming to reduce congestion and promote use of the new automated people mover, SkyLink. Curbside pickups and drop-offs will surge by 140%, while rides to SkyLink stations will cost six dollars. The move is expected to generate around $100 million in the first year, with funds allocated for airport upgrades and smoother travel options.
