Massport, Uber, Lyft agree to raise Logan Airport fees to $5.50

Starting July 1, ride-hailing fares to Boston Logan Airport will increase from $3.25 to $5.50 as part of a new agreement between the Massachusetts Port Authority (Massport), Uber, and Lyft. This decision comes after a proposed fee of $7.50 was met with pushback from riders and drivers. The agreement aims to enhance the rider experience by extending curbside access, implementing a shuttle service, and introducing shared rides for a fee of $1.50. Massport CEO Rich Davey emphasized that these changes are intended to improve infrastructure to support growing ride-sharing demand while addressing traffic around the airport. Although some riders express concern over the increased costs, others acknowledge that adjustments may be necessary for better service. The agreement is set to be voted on by Massport's Board of Directors at their upcoming meeting.
