I just did my first regular Lyft ride from the LAXit lot. I've done a shared Lyft once and parked in lot E once since LAXit opened. I stepped off the jetway at 9:30 on a Wednesday night.

I arrived in T8 and walked from the east end of the horseshoe along the end of P7 and P1 (there was no shuttle at the curb when I got there). It took about 10 minutes total from stepping off the curb at the terminal to getting into a Lyft in the LAXit lot. It was about the maximal walking distance from where I started, since Lyft is further than Uber and they put the head of the line of cars at the north end of their island. I got into a car that was in the third slot. I had requested my Lyft before I even stepped off the curb at the terminal and had a PIN long before I got to the lot.

Random observations:

• I was in a Lyft 15 minutes after stepping off the jetway. Pre-LAXit it was easily 15 to 40 minutes from getting to the pickup spot.
• The biggest speed limiting factor is the traffic lights, there are four lights you have to wait for: World Way (crossing north), Center Way (crossing north), Sky Way (crossing East), and then World Way again (crossing north). An elevated walkway (as used to exist between P1 and P7) could cut the time in half.
• They cut into the parking lot just east of P7 to make a very nice wide and inviting walkway for that stretch.
• They improved the sidewalk east of P1, but not as much as the one by P7.
• There's still a really narrow stretch of sidewalk on the north side of Center Way that needs to be widened.
• I was stepping onto my walkway at home 59 minutes after I stepped off the jetway at LAX, which is probably record time for recent years, except maybe when I had a really short turnaround and parked in P7 overnight.
• The rate of people posting nasty complaints about LAXit to the LAX facebook page dropped off rapidly after they extended LAXit and moved Lyft over to its own area, adding another pair of entrance and exit driveways in the process.
