Chicago gives Uber OK to pick up riders at O'Hare Airport
Posted November 23, 2015 10:00 pm
Uber, the ride-hailing giant whose investors include Mayor Rahm Emanuel's brother, was cleared for take-off Tuesday at Chicago airports.
Lyft, a competitor, also has been authorized to make pickups at O'Hare and Midway airports and McCormick Place.
In a news release, Uber Chicago General Manager Chris Taylor said consumers can expect to pay $28 for a typical UberX ride from O'Hare to downtown and $23 from Midway to the Central Business District.
That includes the $5 pickup fee tacked on, under Emanuel's tax-laden, 2016 budget.
