Built under LAX’s Landside Access Modernisation Programme, the Automated People Mover is a 2.25-mile electric train system with six stations.
Three stations, which are located inside the terminal area, offer links to the terminals through elevated pedestrian walkways.
Other three stations, which are situated outside the central terminal area, connect to new off-site parking facilities, regional light rail transportation and a rental car facility.
Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti said: “The Automated People Mover will be so much more than another way to get to LAX. It is the piece of the puzzle that will end the congestion that has been plaguing our airport for decades.”
