Airport van service SuperShuttle going out of business

SuperShuttle, the shared van service that has carried passengers to and from airports for decades, is going out of business. A letter obtained by the Los Angeles Times says the company will honor all reservations and walk-up requests through the end of the year. Founded in 1983 to serve Los Angeles International Airport, SuperShuttle has lost ground to competitors such as Uber and Lyft. It has served airports across the U.S. and in Latin America, Canada, Europe and Asia. In recent weeks it has pulled out of airports serving many U.S. cities, including Phoenix, Baltimore and Minneapolis.
