Los Angeles International Airport (LAX)<\/strong> is one of the world's largest airports, the 11e<\/sup> worldwide and 5e<\/sup> of the United States with 76.59 million passengers by 2024<\/strong>. Including almost 24 million passengers on international flights. But it is also one of the only airports of its size that, until now, has not had a dedicated rail line. An anomaly, especially as 88% of passengers using LAX have Los Angeles as their final destination <\/strong>(Source: Los Angeles World Airports 2018<\/em>). An anomaly to be written in the past tense, since thehe airport authorities have inaugurated a metro station<\/a> 8 June<\/strong><\/strong> last.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

50 years of waiting for a metro<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As stated at the time of the inauguration the CEO of the metro network, Stephanie Wiggins<\/strong>, \"\u00a0For more than half a century, the people of Los Angeles have dreamed of a rail connection to LAX airport - and now that day has finally arrived.<\/em> Our LAX\/Metro Transit Center station not only enhances the travel experience for millions of visitors to Los Angeles, it is also a cornerstone of our ongoing efforts to build a more sustainable and efficient transportation network for our city.<\/em>\" . The event went largely unnoticed, however, while the spotlight was on the riots in the Californian metropolis' downtown area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An automatic shuttle between the airport and the metro in 2026<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This rail connection is not yet perfect. But it is, LAX\/Metro Transit Centre station<\/strong>which includes rail connections and bus routes, is not at the airport even <\/strong>but nearby<\/strong>. It is therefore only accessible with a bus shuttle<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The station is home to metro lines C and K, which provide connections to Santa Monica, Los Angeles Downtown, Union Station and Pasadena. On the other hand, another connection is needed on the network to reach Hollywood.<\/p>\n\n\n

However, this bus service is temporary. This is because, 2026 will see the launch of the LAX People Mover automatic shuttle service<\/strong>. The system will connect the metro to three terminals<\/strong> as well as the long-term car park and the space reserved for hire cars. This rail connection is the eighth project to be delivered as part of the \" Twenty-eight by 28<\/strong> \", from key infrastructure projects<\/a> set up before the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games<\/strong> and the 2026 FIFA World Cup.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
