At 5 p.m. on Friday, June 6, LA Metro will formally open the LAX/Metro Transit Center to the public. The center will be served by Metro Rail K and C lines and will act as the gateway between the rail system and LAX. It is located just over a mile from the LAX terminals.

For now, shuttle buses will connect the transit center to the terminals until the people mover is completed. Although mostly complete, the people mover won’t be ready for service this year.

In addition to Metro Rail, the transit center will serve as a bus transit hub, replacing the LAX City Bus Center and Aviation/LAX Station. From the new transit center, local buses will offer service to Santa Monica, UCLA, the South Bay communities, and Long Beach.

The Metro Rail connection and the people mover are essential projects in preparation for the 2026 World Cup and 2028 Olympics.
