Test runs begin - but LAX people-mover still years behind schedule
"The $3.34 billion system is built to shuttle travelers across a 2.25-mile elevated track linking terminals, parking lots, a rental car hub and the Metro in a quick trip across LAX."
"Despite construction kicking off in 2019, the long-delayed project may not open until the second half of 2026 - more than two years late and likely missing the FIFA World Cup this summer."
"Trains will arrive at stations every two minutes during peak hours with a total travel time of 10 minutes, according to the LAWA website."
"Still, fed-up locals aren't buying the delays. 'Is it sheer incompetence or a will to get it done,' one Redditor asked."
Los Angeles International Airport's Automated People Mover is designed to alleviate traffic by connecting terminals and parking areas via a 2.25-mile elevated track. The $3.34 billion project, which began construction in 2019, is currently about 95% complete but may not open until late 2026 due to disputes between Los Angeles World Airports and the contractor. The train will operate 24/7, with a travel time of 10 minutes and free service for ticketed passengers and airport workers. Local residents express frustration over the delays.
