Getting to Los Angeles International Airport got easier.
In Los Angeles, people often say that the actual test of someone's love is their willingness to pick you up from Los Angeles International Airport. Enduring the traffic of LAX for a friend or loved one requires a certain selflessness and bravery. But now that the LAX/Metro Transit Centre is open, getting to and from he airport could be a little easier.
The new LAX/Metro Transit Centre is situated just outside the airport, near Aviation Boulevard and 96th Street, adjacent to the LAX Rental Car Centre. The new transit centre is directly connected ot the Metro's C and K metro lines. The C line links L—a West Side who eats, running from EL Segundo to Downey. The K Line runs north to south, going from the Jefferson Park neighbourhood to Redondo Beach. The LAX/Metro Transit Centre doesn't just provide travellers easy access to the airport, though. It also closes a key gap in the Metro's rail network by serving as a hub for the C and K lines.
In addition to the two metro lines, travellers will be able to hop on 14 different bus lines at the new station, including Santa Monica's Big Blue Bus, the Culver City Bus, Torrance Transit, and Garden's GTrans System. However, the LAX/Metro Transit Centre isn't yet directly connected to the airport. The Automated People Mover is slated to open in 2026, and once it does, travellers will be able to take the APM train from the transit centre to LAX seamlessly. For now, shuttles will run every 10 minutes between the centre and the airport, picking up and dropping off guests at the lower level of each terminal.
To ride the Los Angeles public transportation system, you need a Tap card. You can purchase tickets and passes at any metro station or add the card to your Apple or Google Wallet for easy use. If you are driving into LAX from out of town, you could park your car at one of the LA Metro System's many Park and Ride facilities and then hop on a Metro line to get to your flight.
Los Angeles International Airport is one of the busiest airports in the world. With Los Angeles set to host several significant events in the coming years, it is likely to become even busier. The new LAX/Metro Transit Centre debuted just in time for events such as the 2026 FIFA World Cup, the 2027 Super Bowl, and, of course, the 2028 Olympics. The new Metro Centre will alleviate some of the pressure on LAX-IT, the airport's ride-share hailing and taxi lot.
