Airport shuttle vans typically operate under a passenger stage corporation permit and charge a flat-rate fee per-person for transport. Charter-party carriers (which is what Uber/Lyft/etc currently operate as in CA) charge based on mileage or time and are prohibited from individual charges for multi-person rides (with a bunch of exceptions, like if they're in Lake Tahoe or if they're going to or from a hot air balloon).
- pkaye 12y agoWhy the exception for Lake Tahoe?
- zorpner 12y agoMy assumption would be local ski bus operation? No idea if that's the actual justification though. Also, looks like I was wrong about the hot air balloons -- it's only back from the balloon landing, not to the balloon: http://leginfo.ca.gov/cgi-bin/displaycode?section=puc&group=05001-06000&file=5351-5363 http://leginfo.ca.gov/cgi-bin/displaycode?section=puc&group=...

- mayanksinghal 12y ago> flat-rate fee per-person for transport That was not the case. I remember paying a different amount than the person I was sitting next to, because we were travelling different distances.
- brewdad 12y agoTrue. It's a flat rate for a given town or neighborhood. You won't be charged for traffic delays as you would in a cab however nor can the driver charge you more if he needs to detour around road construction or some other issue. The rate is the same for everyone in a given "zone" regardless of the specific route the driver must take.
