In hopes of reducing airport congestion, Los Angeles International Airport has given Uber and Lyft drivers the green light to pick up passengers after making a drop-off. Over the last few weeks, Uber and Lyft drivers have been testing a new booking program dubbed Rematch. Under the change, Uber and Lyft drivers will receive a notification of a new LAX passenger for pickup either before the drivers drop off passengers already in their cars or shortly thereafter. Uber and Lyft drivers won’t be allowed to circle the central terminal area repeatedly trying to find another fare, according to airport and Uber officials. The Rematch technology is already in use at San Francisco International Airport, Norman Y. Mineta San Jose International Airport and Oakland International Airport.
