That's not right.

That's for the taxis?

The Ubers wait in a far away parking lot, then you have to find them. They can't find you. That surely came about in wrestling between the Ubers and taxis at the airport.

This is what the situation was like at the Atlanta airport. The nice people on the airport staff gave me directions to the Uber area but the signs directing you there did not have the word "Uber" in it.

There was a long walk involved. Took about 20 minutes for me to get there.
