Let's start with the bottom line: as of 8AM today, UberX can finally pick up passengers at LAX. UberX is ridiculously cheap in Los Angeles, and those same prices apply when departing the airport, though there's also a $4 airport origination fee. Furthermore, those using UberX or UberXL will need to meet their vehicle on…

I am on a flight now from iah to lax and look forward to using this service. Last month from lax to Casablanca. $120 in taxi. Very unpleasant. I hope uber pulls thru.
If it's not a curated, crowdsourced, artisanal piggyback ride, don't even talk to me.
Head of our IT department was the first rider this AM out of LAX and Uber gave him a $500 credit as well as the driver.
I just was in LAX, and took an Uber Select to Long Beach - cost $75. On the return I took UberX, and that was only $25. Best option to taxi service ever!
I paid $70 for a 20 minute taxi ride from LAX. The guy drove under the speed limit. Looked like he was milking a bigger fare.
OK dirt is maybe excessive way to put it, but here are the rates:
Per Minute: $0.15
Per Mile: $0.90

so they are getting $9 an hour while driving and 36 cents a mile after the 54 cents a mile for depreciation that the IRS allows
@Uber Driver,
I hear you - right now Uber seems more focused on adding drivers than passengers which, as a passenger, I'm not thrilled with.
Hope Uber starts partnering with some businesses to build of the fare base - a free item at a restaurant when you show that you arrived on Uber would go far to convince me to plan on not driving. Get that person out of the house without their car and you'll win them over!
That said, the only driver I've even given a 3 star before (I know it's bad to do, but he was horrible, right turn from the left lane because he couldn't read the GPS before the intersection) turns out to also the only driver that I've ever gotten a repeat ride from - go figure, so today I hope was my last time seeing that guy.
