An Uber driver even mentioned that to me when we were driving past it to make a right on Old Bayshore Hwy on the way to drop me off at the Hyatt Regency.

I recently encountered this while returning a rental car from the HR -- however it appears that the rideshare drivers are all headed for a staging lot (circled in red here) so they all line up in the right lane. So, pro tip: if you are turning left off of Millbrae Ave, or coming up Old Bayshore, pick the left lane, which for me was completely clear at the time. There is a lane merge but it does not occur until after you pass the parking lot entrance, so you can pretty much bypass the line.
