The people mover at LAX is basically built. Empty cars are already running test trips on the elevated track. Passengers still can’t ride it. It was supposed to open years ago, then become a World Cup flex. Missed that. Fitch already cut the contractor’s bonds deeper into junk. There’s a lender longstop on Oct. 8 and a project longstop on Dec. 8. Miss those and you’re looking at technical-default territory. The builder (LINXS) sued the city in July saying LAWA hid delays and racked up change orders. Airport says the claim has no merit. Original price was about $1.9B. It’s around $3.3B now. Until it opens, Metro riders still dump at the Westchester transit center and take a shuttle into the terminals. Airport workers and travelers stay stuck in the central loop traffic. Next pressure points: Super Bowl at So-Fi in Feb 2027, then Olympics 2028. Curious what Westchester / Inglewood / airport workers are seeing day to day — is cut-through traffic still ugly, or has anything actually improve...
