Uber was quoted in the LA Times recently that they believe they need twice as many slots at the new lot then what has been allocated. There are something like 74 Ride Share spots available in the lot, and Uber has half. Lyft up to now hasn't publicly commented, but by association probably has been allocated 37 spots too.
This is going to be ugly without serious dispatch oversight. Many times I've been waiting for a car at the pickup between TBIT and AA, and there has been probably over 50 people loitering around waiting for their car to arrive. Add the other five existing pickup locations (which anecdotally seem less crowded) and at peak times there might be ~175 people waiting for cars at a given moment.
