How to Get to Downtown LA from LAX Airport - Only $1.75!

[@skip-4259]

This is going to be so much easier once the K/C extension opens and we get Aviation/Century and LAX/Metro Transit Center

[@TigerRailfan]

It truly will! I'll be updating with new videos once that happens

Thanks for sharing. Definitely going to try this route soon.

Wonderful and informative video! I know the new rail extension that is coming for LAX is going to make things a lot easier but your excellent video illustrates how bad public transport is currently. 85 minutes! I've been to San Francisco this year and from the SFO BART station it's about 35 minutes to the Embarcadero BART station in central SF. If you're arriving at a United G terminal gate the BART station is only a few steps and up one escalator after exiting customs. And for International passengers departing on a United flight their check in area is literally a 2 minute walk from the SFO BART station.

2:05 Wow! That’s great to see so many people in LA using public transit.

Good informative video, but personally I'd probably go C train + A train, rather than train + bus, especially with more luggage.

[@shawng8613]

Yeah, depends on how important time and maybe comfort is to your journey. The J line is typically 15-20 minutes faster than the A to 7th/metro, but more than carry on luggage can be tough on the J as it is often standing room.

Thank you! Personally I prefer that route too especially due to all the elevation changes at harbor freeway but this route was reccomended by a viewer and it is just slightly faster, maybe this is a good way if you just have a backpack

[@dddaddy]

@@shawng8613 absolutely, if you're traveling light it's great.

[@thevultrantransituniverse1487]

Great video. This gives me idea if I want to head back to LA myself and navigate the transit system there.

Good video! But remember. When you mean You Are, it's spelled You're.

The other thing that’s needed, but almost impossible to implement, is express trains. Right now getting from Azusa to LAX takes about 1’50”. An express train, a train that bypasses intermediate stops, from Union Station, Pasadena or further out when the extension is added, would make the route more competitive. It can’t really be implemented as there doesn’t appear to be enough sidings for express trains to safely bypass the regular ones. I like the idea of taking the train to LAX, but the whole process is cumbersome, takes too much time and has too many changes.

[@goutes1231]

What about the LAX flyer? That’s what I used when I was there in 2022

[@cesarc6044]

So you are the reason why so many folks have been riding the 950/910 with luggage lol

[@georgec6982]

65 mph is light work

[@llexhwin6606]

Can you buy a TAP card at LAX ??

[@historicalgene3655]

Not exactly. But you may purchase a Tap card at the Aviation C Line station using their self-vending kiosk.
