I think it’s time to consider demolishing and rebuilding LAX. When it takes 30 minutes to get to the drop off curb on a Sunday morning, start over

LAX needs a direct, high frequency rail line to DTLA

like

My spouse is an architect at LAX. The U isn’t going away. They’re building connections (both sides of security) between all the terminals (like the one recently completed between international and American). A new satellite terminal is under construction for International. A people mover will come down the center and take people to a new offsite structure for rental cars, taxis, and hotel shuttles, it then continues to the Green Line expansion (not Expo) where there will be the major bus terminal as well. All large vehicle traffic will be taken out of the U. Each terminal is getting overhaul, but managed and paid for by the individual airlines, not the airport, so results will vary. All will be done by 2023. Then there’s plans for expansion to 2 additional terminals (one on the parking lot next to Southwest, and one on the other side of Sepulveda.)

I heard they’re getting rid of the U before the Olympics

FYI it’s a minimum of a $200 fine (more like $500 in practice) if they get caught making drop offs on the arrivals level

Why Sunday morning tho?

LA is a failure of a city. I hate living here. I just want to live in a city where I can take public transit to work and to see friends, rather than having to drive everywhere.

Take LGB when possible
