The Aviation/LAX metro station closest to Los Angeles International Airport will be out of service for the next two and a half months. During this time, the airport's already poorly organized public transportation service will become even less reliable, reports Travel.ru.
The closure of Aviation/LAX (and four subsequent stations up to Redondo Beach) is due to preparations for connecting existing Skytrain lines with a future new line that will directly access the airport. All five Green Line stations from Aviation/LAX to Redondo Beach will be closed from January 26 to April 7.
During this period, the G shuttle bus, which normally connects the Aviation/LAX station to all airport terminals, will operate from the last open station, Hawthorne/Lennox. This will significantly increase travel time, which already averages about 20 minutes, and may further increase shuttle wait times, which also average about 20 minutes.
As a reminder, in addition to this bus transfer, the actual subway ride from Aviation/LAX to the city center takes at least an hour. However, the situation will improve slightly after the launch of the new subway line.
