Ugh. Does this apply to shuttles?

No. Just Ridesahre Apps like Uber/Lyft for the relocation.
So,any change for drop offs? Was planning on taking an Uber TO LAX after our stay.
(Los Angeles, CA) As Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) ramps up work on its modernization program, the airport today announced plans for “LAX-it,” a convenient, amenity-rich, centralized area for guests to pick up a taxi or ride app service, and avoid traffic in the Central Terminal Area (CTA). LAX-it will open at the end of October, and will remain in service until the Automated People Mover opens in 2023.
LAX-it will only be for pickups, as ride app and taxi drivers will continue to drop off passengers at the terminal curbs on the Upper/Departures Level.
“Anyone who has come to LAX knows that traffic in the Central Terminal Area can get rough, and we have heard from our guests that the current system with ride pickups can be frustrating," said Keith Wilschetz, Deputy Executive Director for Operations and Emergency Management, Los Angeles World Airports. “LAX-it will provide an easy, efficient experience for guests using taxis and ride apps and reduce overall traffic in and around the central terminal area for all those driving to and from LAX and our neighbors."
LAX-it is located just east of Terminal 1, at the corner of World Way and Sky Way. Accessible by either a short walk from many terminals or via a dedicated shuttle from the airport’s terminals, LAX-it will reimagine the pickup process for taxis, Uber, Lyft and Opoli with additional amenities such as restrooms, benches, umbrellas for sun and rain protection, and local food trucks. LAX-it will also offer connectivity, with cellphone charging stations and Wi-Fi. Dedicated staff at LAX-it will provide passenger assistance and lane management on site.

Yeah, you made the trip from Burbank to Anaheim at literally the worst possible time of day.
So what is a good time from that area to DLR?It depends what time you're landing. If it's not during rush hour, BUR every time. I lived in Pasadena for a couple years and loved flying in and out of BUR. It's so tiny and easy! If it's during rush hour, don't do it. Miserable drive, as people have already said. Keep in mind, also, that LA rush hour is much longer than many people are used to.
I don't love LAX, but it's not horrible if you're at least a little used to enormous, crazy airports.
Given the choice, I'd choose SNA, ONT, or LGB over either LAX or BUR, though.
if you can leave at any time, I’d say between 10 and 2 is your best bet. Or after 8pm. But I don’t promise no traffic. LA is very unpredictable. You should be ok then, though.So what is a good time from that area to DLR?
We will be flying in to BUR, spending a couple days at Hilton Universal City/USH then to Anaheim/Fairfield Inn Anaheim Resort on a Monday. In theory we could make the drive to Anaheim any time on Monday. What would be a “good” time?
Check out Ride.guru it will show you all options generally. I don't use these but you might check out Gett/Juno, Grab, Curb, MyTaxi/Hailo, Ola Cabs.We will be flying into LB in a few weeks. I am wondering if there are any apps for this area that let you see how much a taxi ride would be so I can compare this cost to Uber and Lyft.
I always go for Lyft because:
1. Very short wait at the airport.
2. It's point-to-point, just for you.
3. More comfortable than a bus (IMO)
Potential Downsides:
1. Costs more for 3 ($10-20. Value is subjective. Coupons available.)
2. Some drivers are really chatty. Not a big deal to me, but some people hate that.
If you decide to use Lyft from LAX, please be mindful of the designated pick-up zones. Unless something's changed since the last time I was there, you'll find there are specific places for pick-up. The drivers can get tickets if they pick you up outside the zone. If you're not sure where they are, just ask an airport employee and they'll point you in the right direction.
Have a great trip!
