Lyft can pick up at LAX starting 12/23/15
Lyft can pick you up at LAX starting Wednesday

Just in time for the holiday traveling crush, Lyft's low-cost drivers can begin picking up travelers at 8 a.m. Wednesday, City Hall officials announced. The agreement is a coup for Lyft, which will be the only ride-share company picking up at LAX during one of the busiest travel weeks of the year.

The Silicon Valley company's main competitor, Uber, has not yet received the green light for its drivers to pick up at the airport. An Uber representative did not return a request seeking comment on when the company expects to begin operating at LAX.

Passengers will be able to hail a ride using Lyft's smartphone app, then follow signs marked "ride service" to the upper departures level, where drivers will be waiting. The company originally opposed the upper-level requirement because riders will have to carry their luggage upstairs from baggage claim.
