Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) has reached a significant milestone with the arrival of the final four train cars for its automated people mover system, set to launch in January 2026. The system, featuring a fleet of 44 vehicles, will transport an estimated 30 million passengers annually along a 2.25-mile route connecting key areas within the airport. Running at speeds of up to 47 miles per hour with a 2-minute interval between trains during peak hours, the end-to-end trip is expected to take just 10 minutes. John Ackerman, the CEO of the Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA), expressed pride in the project, highlighting its role in improving the overall travel experience at LAX and promoting sustainable transportation practices. In another development, Metro's ridership is on a positive trajectory, showing an 8.2% increase in July and marking consistent growth for the 20th consecutive month. Despite the recovery, ridership levels are still below pre-pandemic figures, with efforts ongoing to attract more passengers to public transit. A notable advancement in sustainable transportation is the introduction of a hydrogen-powered train on the Arrow Line in San Bernardino. This zero-emission train serves a 9-mile transit route with five stops, contributing to the region's eco-friendly public transit options. Conversations about electrifying the Metrolink system in Southern California are also underway, although officials cite challenges including the extensive track network and the associated costs. While there are differing opinions on the feasibility and approach to electrification, there is a shared goal of enhancing the sustainability of rail transport in the region.
