Rideshare drivers at Palm Springs airport share concerns

PALM SPRINGS, Calif. (KESQ) - As the holidays roll around and more people travel in and out of the Palm Springs International Airport, rideshare drivers are sharing some of their concerns.

Some drivers don't have Lyft or Uber stickers displayed on their cars, which other drivers think can be potentially dangerous.

"How does that rider know that they're being picked up by an actual Lyft and Uber driver?," says Todd Wheelan, a rideshare driver.

News Channel 3 asked the airport what they do to ensure drivers identify their vehicles, they shared that their curbside operations staff issues warnings and citations to violators.

"We’re working hard to ensure that drivers are properly displaying their Uber or Lyft decals so passengers can easily and confidently identify their ride, and we are actively bringing vehicles into compliance," Palm Springs International Airport said in a statement to News Channel 3.

Some drivers also say that passengers have trouble finding the rideshare pick up location. The Palm Springs International Airport has bright yellow signage to help passengers find they way.

"Our curbside staff and volunteer Navigators are available throughout the day to assist guests and provide directions," they said in a statement to News Channel 3.
