My LAX-it Monday hell

10:20 reach shuttle pickup point
10:40 get in shuttle
10:45 get to pick up lot. Bake in ☀️

I fly into ATL and have started renting a car again. Pickup wait times have increased and surge pricing is getting out of control. Uber lost its appeal when its not cheaper or more convenient than renting a car.
