Sadly for a service meant to be about convenience I am starting to go back to cabs
I think a lot of the drivers at LAX were there because they took someone to the airport. So they are waiting for a paid fare back toward where they normally hangout.

When I called for Lyft at LAX last week, I told that driver before stepping in that I am going 70 miles east and if he is okay with that. He said that's perfect because his home is that way too.
