Getting to the airport may soon become a lot more expensive — and it has nothing to do with gas. Los Angeles International Airport is weighing a plan that could jack up fees for Uber, Lyft and taxis, potentially adding new charges to rides in and out of the busy travel hub. Under a proposal headed to the Los Angeles Board of Airport Commissioners on Tuesday, airport officials want to introduce a $6 base access fee for rideshare drivers, taxis and other commercial vehicles entering LAX — the first major adjustment to the fee structure in about a decade.
