New fees in effect for rideshare trips to Logan
Briefly

The rideshare surcharge to and from Logan Airport has increased from $3.25 to $5.50, impacting passenger travel costs. This decision, stemming from an agreement in March between Uber, Lyft, and the Massachusetts Port Authority, aims to reduce airport congestion. The additional revenue will fund $1.5 billion in improvements to enhance accommodation for rideshare services and overall customer experience. With rising demand and current capacity issues, planned improvements include expanding parking, better roadways, increasing HOV capacity, and restarting shared rides, among other strategies.
