Angelen is now one step closer to having a direct rail connection between the Los Angeles Traffic Network and the Los Angeles International Airport (Lax).
In 2014, city officials approved the building of the very necessary Move from automated people To connect Lax to the city’s public transport system. This plan also included the construction of the Metro Traffic Centerwhich will open on June 6 at 96th Street and Aviation Boulevard and will provide direct access to the metropolitan lines K and C, which will connect the airport to the center of Los Angeles and Long Beach, California, respectively.
This is part of a Renewal of $ 30 billion of lax Before the 2028 Olympic Games, which officials hope to do an event without cars.
What can travelers expect now?
Although the opening of the Transit Center is a great step in the right direction, it will not benefit most travelers immediately, since the largest missing piece is not expected to be expected, the APM, the APM, opens until 2026. The APM will provide a direct connection between the Metro Transit Center, the Lax Terminals and other airport facilities, including rental cars and parking lots.
When the transit center opens in June, travelers can use transport services to complete the last 1.7 mile walk to Lax and vice versa terminals until the APM opens.
In the Transit Center Metro, travelers can get on lines K or C, which provide access between Expo/Crenshaw station to the north; The Redondo Beach station, California, to the south; and Northwalk station, California, to the east. Passengers from the center of Los Angeles can take line E to expark/Croww and transfer to line K, or line A to the WillowBrook/Rosa parks station and transfer to line C.

This could save money from travelers in transport, since lax transport services can be expensive, and a unidirectional subway trip is $ 1.75 for most passengers. However, the most significant savings, the time dedicated to waiting in Los Angeles, will not occur until the APM is opened. In recent times, I have taken a transport service to Lax, I spent more time sitting in traffic from the Laxa entrance sign to the terminal that comes from the center of Los Angeles to the entrance Laxa.
Once the APM opens, passengers can travel from the Metro Transit Center to the Laxas terminals 24 hours a day. The trains will be executed every two minutes during the peak hours between 9 am and 11 pm to travel in the end -to -end APM will take 10 minutes. It will be free for passengers with tickets, airport employees and anyone who collects and leaves travelers.
According to Los Angeles World Airports and Lax Integrated Express Solutions, the APM is expected to have 30 million passengers annually, relieve traffic within the terminal area by 27% and reduce 117,000 miles of vehicles traveled daily.
Although the opening of the Transit Center Metro will not affect most travelers for now, it will make Lax much easier once the APM opens in 2026.
