"When that happens, the airport executives group will keep 5 percent of the fees collected, and 25 percent of that 5 percent will go to SFO. Together, they hope to generate a projected $350,000 in revenue in the first two years."
ug, where does the 95% of the fees collected go???
FYI: revenue = taxes

The cost will simply be passed on to the passengers, so it's yet another airport tax. Can a toll for all cars entering the airport be far behind?

Shouldn't the airport charge a fee to cab and ride services for the costs incurred in regulating those services?
Do you really want a cab/ride-service/pirate-cab/limo free-for-all at SFO? No restrictions on who drops/picks up/sits and waits? No regulation on fares, quality, insurance, etc..? Peak time pricing from all services (ie.. no regulated rate - see what Uber did overseas during a terrorism incident.)
I don't.
