I have never been one to hang out at TIA - I could never see much point in waiting over an hour for a MAYBE ride that can potentially go anywhere. I always drop off then leave TIA and head off to Dale Mabry - take my chances away from the airport.
So yesterday I drop off - the Uber program automatically tries to put me in the cue - I log off, drive out of the area - and when I log in again on Cypress and Lois this time, it automatically puts me BACK in the airport line. Never did that before/ It appears they have added a second " official " waiting lot ? South of, and off the premises of, the airport grounds. It showed up on the Uber map for the first time. I had to go to Cypress and Himes - to get out of the inclusion zone. What a pain-in-the-ass. And there are hotels along Kennedy, along Cypress, along Spruce - now I I have to miss out on THOSE ?
The only thing I didn't check / verify - if you're only near the airport - but didn't drop off there - does it automatically suck-you-in ?
We need to be able to opt OUT of airport system at-will, but still stay in the surrounding area to get people downtown, to the convention center, hospitals, the universities, etc.
