Many of them are one-car taxi companies allowed after deregulation forced by the arrival of the ride-share companies. So people who usually would use the parking facilities or rental cars started using Uber or Lyft,” he said.Īndersen noted that despite the ride-share companies taking an ever-larger slice of the market share, other taxis, rental car companies, shuttles and parking companies have also seen their business increase or remain steady in recent years.Īdvisory Board Chairwoman Cynthia Miller said that without ride-share, “Our parking would have been even more inundated and overbooked.”Īndersen noted that the airport now has 594 ground transportation companies licensed by the city to operate at the airport. “They operated at a little bit lower fare. About a third of all people arriving at the airport now use commercial ground transportation, instead of driving and parking.Īndersen said Uber and Lyft have driven that growth, literally. Treber Andersen, acting airport operations manager, said the number of people using ground transportation at the airport has increased 18% a year since 2015 - much faster than the also-strong growth in airline passengers there, now approaching 27 million annually. Hotel shuttles will receive 150 feet of space, and charter buses get 200 feet. And for drop-off, taxis must share a 360-foot area assigned to resort shuttles and limousine companies for their pickup and drop-offs. Uber and Lyft will have a 510-feet-long strip of curb space, compared to just 90 feet for a taxi stand. ![]()
