Logan Airport in Boston raises Uber, Lyft fees and parking rates
Logan Airport in Boston has raised its fees for taking an Uber or Lyft to catch a flight, as well as the cost of parking in a garage.
The new prices went into effect Tuesday. It will now cost an extra $5.50 each way for Uber and Lyft passengers, up from the previous fee of $3.25.
Earlier this year, Massport proposed hiking the fee to $7.50 before a compromise was reached. As part of the deal, passengers can be dropped off right in front of the terminal doors, instead of at a designated spot in the garage. This has not gone into effect yet, though; passengers are still meant to be dropped off in specific locations in the garage.
"We are continuing to have conversations with our ride-share partners about future changes," a spokesperson from MassDOT said.
The deal also gives Uber and Lyft drivers more time to accept pickup requests after making an airport drop-off, calls for more shared ride opportunities and requires the companies to launch a shuttle service to Logan.
Massport CEO Rich Davey said at the time that the compromise would allow for "new, cheaper ways to get to Boston Logan," while also addressing traffic issues.
