LAX Gridlock, Olympic Stakes, and Rideshare Shock: What It Means for SoCal
Description
Hour 1 - Sergio Avedian, Senior Contributor at The Rideshare Guy, joins the Monks and Merrill Show to break down why Los Angeles International Airport is proposing steep rideshare fee increases that could make Uber and Lyft trips to and from the airport more expensive. The conversation also dives into major delays for the long-awaited LAX rail connection—now years behind schedule and potentially missing the 2026 FIFA World Cup timeline. Plus, lawmakers prepare transportation strategies for the 2028 Summer Olympics, including new OC transit plans and growing oversight questions at Los Angeles City Council surrounding LA28 chairman Casey Wasserman and reported ties to documents linked to Jeffrey Epstein.
