Correct.


Uber has always been available at Logan. In order to pick up at Logan, the driver has to have livery plates, and clearance from Logan Airport. All Uber Black drivers have this, and some UberX drivers do. The app will only show drivers that have this permission.

Personally, I have never had an issue finding a driver at Logan. There is now surge pricing at the airport so that will likely increase supply (and price). For years, the airport never had surge pricing on airport pickups, so when it was busy the drivers had incentive to leave the airport and go back to the downtown area and get a surge ride.
