Late last week, Torched’s Alissa Walker broke a story about LAX getting construction underway on a massive roadway expansion. When complete, it will send even more cars into the already gridlocked central “horseshoe” roadway. Widening the roads leading into an unchanged horseshoe will, you guessed it, worsen congestion in the horseshoe.
When are they going to finish that line that directly connects to LAX? Give me that and do whatever you want with the road for the car brained, I’ll take transit there. The Flyaway bus is pretty good, but it still has to contend with the traffic getting into the damn place.
The LAX people mover is scheduled to finish 2026. The metro station is already fully complete
When we went to LA with my girlfriend, we took the train (métro ?) as we are used to in Europe. It was really cheap, and covers a large portion of the city. The trip from LAX to downtown was a bit long though, and we had to change train at compton. Only poor people in the wagons, I remember this couple of young danish or swedish beeing scared shitless. In some touristic guides they tell people to avoid metro because it’s dangerous, it looks like its not an exception in the US. Anyway, we were happy with the LA metro and buses…
