LAX Automated People Mover Enters Passenger-Free Testing Phase
LAX’s 2.25-mile Automated People Mover begins about 60 days of passenger-free testing with empty trains, running on the planned schedule while officials work through system integration and reliability checks. Before any riders board, the line must operate 24/7 for 30 days without issues; after that, additional testing and user-feedback rounds will follow. The $5.5‑billion project has faced delays since 2019 and ongoing disputes with contractor LINXS, pushing back a public opening, and while officials hope it will be ready for World Cup-related travel, no opening date has been set. The system is designed to ease airport congestion by linking terminals, parking, and pickup/drop-off zones.
