NEW YORK (CBSMiami/AP) — About 50 of the busiest airports in the United States made more than $183 million last year just from travelers using taxis, shuttle buses and other forms of ground transportation, according to the Associated Press.
The group put together the data obtained through dozens of public records requests.
Florida's airports made it on the list including Orlando International, Miami International Airport, Tampa International, Palm Beach International and Fort Lauderdale - Hollywood International Airport.
Fees ranged widely from airport to airport. They were only paid — directly or indirectly — by those who used these services. Passengers picked up by friends or family generally didn't pay the fees. And in many cases, they were split by groups traveling together, such as three fliers sharing a taxi.
