Brief but generally informative regarding the referenced matter. Reads more as a press release than an news article. Title is somewhat clickbaity as it only mentions particular services, when in actuality other services are affected by the noted changes as well (which are only fleetingly mentioned in the piece). A worthwhile read if only for its brevity.

The title is a bit misleading since it makes it seem like LAX is targeting Uber and Lyft, but taxis are included in the new pick-up procedures. Otherwise very straight forward report on LAX changes.

As mentioned by another reviewer, taxis are included in the new plan but they are only mentioned once, giving the impression that Uber and Lyft are the problem being solved. The article is also quite superficial, it doesn't even mention how Uber and Lyft drivers and riders are supposed to find each other in what will probably be a mob scene.

This is a somewhat surface-level article, but it does factually report the new information and remains balanced. I just wish there was more context provided, for example how many Uber and Lyft pickups there are each day at LAX compared to all pickups.
