Seems like just yesterday that a state official threatened to shut down Uber for violating Public Utilities Commission regulations. Indeed it was yesterday, but today there's some good news for the $50 billion rideshare firm: The LAX Board of Commissioners voted to allow its drivers into the airport.

The decision is not final until the L.A. City Council either approves it or opts to let the commission's approval stand. But at this rate, look for Uber and Lyft — and sure, even Sidecar — to be admitted to the airport by Labor Day.

The commission voted 5-0 to adopt a set of regulations on ridesharing companies. Among other rules, the companies will be restricted to the upper, departure level, where traffic is less congested. Unassigned drivers must wait in a specified "assignment area" off-site, so as to avoid clogging up the roadway next to the terminals.
