L.A. waited so long it seemed like a fantasy. But it’s actually coming: A rail connection to LAX
LA TimesA rendering of the long-awaited Automated People Mover train set to open in 2026, connecting Los Angeles International Airport to the Metro rail system from the K Line and the C Line. After the long-awaited Automated People Mover train opens in 2026, it will connect LAX to the Metro rail system from the K Line and the C Line. “Once this connection actually gets completed … I think you’re going to really see a difference in the way people access the airport.” Once running, Metro riders will be able to board the people mover at the upcoming LAX/Metro Transit Center Station at Aviation Boulevard and 96th Street directly from the K Line or C Line, formerly known as the Green Line. According to Metro and Los Angeles World Airports board meeting archives, officials cited ridership projections, cost and potential safety concerns and decided to move forward with plans for an elevated people mover train that would connect travelers to Metro, without tunneling underground to bring Metro inside the airport or creating new construction in the surrounding area that would further aggravate traffic.
