Uber stops pickups at Lauderdale airport, port

Uber drivers no longer will pick up passengers at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport and Port Everglades, hoping the withdrawal will keep Broward County from heading to court.

In an email sent by Uber Monday evening, drivers were told that the company is "temporarily suspending pickups'' at both locations "until further notice.''

However, Uber will continue dropping passengers off at both sites.

"You will no longer receive pickup requests at FLL and Port Everglades,'' the email to Uber drivers reads. "Please note that any partners attempting to circumvent this restriction may have their Uber account subject to deactivation, and Uber will not cover any citation received as a result of pickup up at FLL and Port Everglades.
