I'm flying into LGA later this week and understand it and JFK are both Uber/Lyft approved because in NYC these services, even UberX and Lyft, are operated by licensed Livery drivers/cars. I just REALLY wish NYC would catch up and offer Select... I'll almost always pay 1.25x - 1.5x to ensure a better car, especially when on the company dime and/or going out for the evening.

I know SEA is listed as "NO" in the LA Times article, but I've definitely got Lyft from the main terminal as recently as a few months ago. I know UberX is geoblocked but UberTaxi is not and does support app payment (unlike in NYC where you have to pay the driver direct). What I REALLY don't understand is why UberSelect is NOT geoblocked at SEA, since it's supposed to just be X with nicer cars... I've not been in town since discovering this, but I'll likely take advantage in the not too distant future.

That said, can anyone comment on pros/cons of UberX or Lyft from LGA to Midtown compared to one of the cheaper pre-booked towncar services?
