  I highly doubt you are going to find a ride share driver willing to let someone smoke in their car, let alone an entire service.

  Makes sense. So it isn't right to blame it on rideshares. Those people were all getting to the airport somehow before uber came along...

   4 years ago in  Uber and Lyft make LAX a nightmare. Move them off site, but not taxis

  The increased use of ride-hailing services has also contributed to the traffic, which sometimes backs up into nearby neighborhoods. 

  Why is this? Is it because all those people were using public transport before rideshares came around?
