Serving nearly 90 juta penumpang a year, Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) is the second-busiest airport in the country and the fourth-largest in the world. 

Untuk membantu menjadikan pengalaman perjalanan lebih baik bagi para penerbang, LAX membuat beberapa perubahan besar. Untuk mengurangi kemacetan, LAX telah memulai pembangunan kereta bandara layang — sebuah proyek senilai $14 miliar yang akan dibuka pada tahun 2023.

As a result of this effort, LAX prohibits rideshare services like Lyft, Uber & Taxis from picking up passengers outside of the terminal. The new area is called LAX it — or “LAX Exit.” 

Airport officials promise that this process is as smooth as ever. However, some passengers would say otherwise.

Apa yang Terjadi dengan Penjemputan Uber di LAX?

Sebelum perubahan penjemputan di LAX, penumpang dapat menumpang di tepi jalan. Kini penumpang akan melalui proses yang lebih rumit. Anda harus menaiki shuttle yang membawa Anda ke area penjemputan baru. Begini cara kerjanya.

When you land at LAX, you would call a Taxi or open the Lyft or Uber app and request a car. If there is confusion, the app will give you further instructions on how to request a ride. Once you exit the terminal, you will get on one of the shuttles to the pick-up area. Airport officials point out that the pick-up area is a short walk from terminals 1,2,7 and 8. The sidewalks have added signage to help you navigate your way to the new area. If you are hailing a taxi, there will be a taxi stand at the pick-up destination. 

Berapa Lama Perjalanan Shuttle Berlangsung?

The shuttles arrive every three to five minutes. Officials say that the longest shuttle ride will be from Terminal 1, which will be around 15 minutes.  

To help expedite the shuttle travel times, LAX is changing the inside lanes on the arrival level to bus-only lanes. 

Secara teoritis, penumpang harus tiba di Lyft, Uber, atau Taksi dalam waktu 30 menit setelah keluar dari terminal — bahkan pada hari-hari tersibuk di bandara.

Apakah Shuttles Disetujui ADA?

Ya, layanan antar-jemput dapat mengakomodasi penyandang disabilitas. Tidak ada jalur landai, tangga, atau tepi jalan di area antar-jemput atau penjemputan. Selain itu, layanan antar-jemput juga memiliki pengikat untuk kursi roda. Agen layanan pelanggan menunggu di setiap antar-jemput untuk membantu siapa saja yang membutuhkannya.

Seperti Apa Area Penjemputan Baru?

The pick-up area is a sectioned part of the LAX parking lot — east of Terminal 1. The parking lot now has bathrooms, umbrellas, phone charging spots, and food trucks. It is said to have a capacity for over 2,600 cars an hour. Airport officials also say that it has lines that hold over 93 Uber and Lyft vehicles that can pick up riders at the same time. The taxi stand can hold over 40 taxis. 

Selain itu, karyawan akan tersedia 24/7 di tempat penjemputan untuk membantu penumpang mengangkat bagasi dan memuat mobil.

It seems like LAX-it is the answer to stressed travelers’ prayers, right? Well, not exactly. Let’s see how it measures up. 

Apa Pendapat Wisatawan Tentang LAX-it Baru?

While this change intended to make getting a ride from the airport more manageable, it seemed to make the process more confusing. Passengers complained that the customer service was poor and there were long wait lines. 

Due to traffic gridlock and overcrowded shuttles, customers expressed that it took them longer to get a ride than it did to fly to Los Angeles. One of the main problems with the new system is customer confusion. Many struggled to figure out how to get to the pick-up area. Also, the ridesharing lines were unorganized and difficult to distinguish.  

Customers were also alarmed at the long wait times for their rideshare service. Once flyers got to the pick-up area, they waited more than an hour to get to their ride. If that wasn’t bad enough, travelers were also stunned at the surge in pricing. According to one Selebaran LAX, a typical rideshare trip that cost around $30 before LAX-it, now costs up to $70 plus tip. On busy days like Friday, customers can expect to pay about 150% more. 

Tampaknya LAX-itu membuat perjalanan menjadi lebih menegangkan. Untungnya, GoRide tidak dilarang menjemput dan mengantar pelanggan di terminal LAX.

Apa Perbedaan Layanan Antar-Jemput GoRide?

Tidak seperti Taksi dan layanan ridesharing seperti Lyft dan Uber, pengemudi GoRide Shuttle akan menjemput penumpang di tepi jalan terminal LAX — sama seperti sistem lama.

You would request a driver using the GoRide Shuttle Service app and wait between the inner and outer lanes of the arrival levels. No crowded shuttles or long lines. Private curbside pick-up makes getting a ride easier and less hassle. GoRide is not a Rideshare service and you can easily communicate directly with your driver. If your flight is delayed, you can contact them with a direct phone number. 

GoRide Shuttle Service is also safe and reliable. Ridesharing services have come under fire for its masalah keamanan. Namun, dengan GoRide, ini bukan layanan berbagi tumpangan dan Anda dapat yakin bahwa Anda akan tiba di tujuan dengan selamat. Tim pengemudi profesional kami memiliki lisensi, asuransi, dan menjalani pemeriksaan latar belakang yang panjang.
