The LAX People Mover: A First-Look At The (Very Cool) Visuals

The LAX people mover project broke ground in March 2019, and it won't actually be up and running until at least 2023. But you can now get a preview of how it will look and feel coming into Los Angeles International Airport by rail.
The people mover is an electric train that will transport travelers to and from terminals at LAX and a light rail station on Metro's LAX/Crenshaw Line. For certain Angelenos, that means making the trip to the airport (and back) entirely by rail.
Below we've rounded up a series of 3D models and images released by Los Angeles World Airports, which operates LAX.
SEE IT IN VIRTUAL REALITY:
- Intermodal Transportation Facility - East: Connects passengers to the future Airport Metro Connector Station.
- Intermodal Transportation Facility - West: Provides direct access to the train from LAX's new parking structure.
- East CTA Station (from atop Parking Structure 7): Connects to Terminals 7 and 8.
- Interior of the Center CTA Station: Connects passengers to Terminals 1, 2, and 6 via pedestrian bridges.
- West CTA Station (from Upper World Way): Connects passengers to Tom Bradley International and Terminals 3, 4, and 5.
- Theme Building Viewing Platform at the East CTA Station

As Editor-in-Chief of our newsroom, I’m extremely proud of the work our top-notch journalists are doing here at LAist. We’re doing more hard-hitting watchdog journalism than ever before — powerful reporting on the economy, elections, climate and the homelessness crisis that is making a difference in your lives. At the same time, it’s never been more difficult to maintain a paywall-free, independent news source that informs, inspires, and engages everyone.
Simply put, we cannot do this essential work without your help. Federal funding for public media has been clawed back by Congress and that means LAist has lost $3.4 million in federal funding over the next two years. So we’re asking for your help. LAist has been there for you and we’re asking you to be here for us.
We rely on donations from readers like you to stay independent, which keeps our nonprofit newsroom strong and accountable to you.
No matter where you stand on the political spectrum, press freedom is at the core of keeping our nation free and fair. And as the landscape of free press changes, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust, but the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news from our community.
Please take action today to support your trusted source for local news with a donation that makes sense for your budget.
