Thousands of international film execs hoping to zip into Santa Monica for meetings instead found themselves caught waiting and waiting and waiting to hail a ride due to the new LAXit policy
International film execs arriving for the American Film Market complain of a"s**tshow at the airport" as new rules banning Uber and Lyft at curbside lead to long lines, extended delays.
The thousands of international film executives descending on Los Angeles for AFM, many of them coming off 10- to 15-hour flights, walked off the plane directly into more long lines. Execs hoping to zip into Santa Monica for meetings instead found themselves caught waiting and waiting and waiting to hail a ride.
"After a 16-, 17-hour flight, having to wait again for another bus was just atrocious," added Dubai-based Gianluca Chakra of Middle East distributor Front Row. At fault are changes to LAX's arrivals policy, introduced last week, banning almost all curbside pickups for taxis and ride-share services Uber and Lyft. Instead, travelers have to hop a shuttle to a new pickup area given the purgative moniker LAXit .
