Dear Alderman,
As an uberX driver-partner in Chicago, I'm writing to ask you to support rideshare and uberX by allowing us to pick up passengers at Midway and O'Hare. Rideshare gives me the opportunity to earn money on my own schedule.

Allowing rideshare drivers to pick up passengers at the airports will boost my income and help me build a better life.
Thank you for listening, Syed Mehdi
