Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) has announced the opening of the LAX/Metro Transit Center Station, along with a free shuttle service to all terminals operating every 10 minutes starting at 5 p.m.

According to Condé Nast Traveler, the LAX/Metro Transit Center Station officially opened on June 6, 2025. This development introduces a nearly $900 million rail and bus hub that connects LA Metro’s C and K light rail lines plus 14 bus routes. The station includes amenities such as restrooms, elevators, escalators, and bike storage. It is designed to accommodate approximately 5,000 passengers per hour, highlighting its role in improving connectivity to LAX.

Metro and LAist report that once public service began at 5 PM on June 6, 2025, Los Angeles World Airports initiated a free shuttle running every 10 minutes between the station and all terminals. The shuttle operates around the clock with loops at terminal arrival levels marked by pink-shaft signs. This service aims to reduce car dependency and ease curbside congestion until the Automated People Mover (APM) starts in early 2026.

L.A. Metro identified this station as the eighth completed project under its "Twenty-Eight by ’28" initiative. This program seeks to enhance transit infrastructure ahead of major events like the 2028 Olympics, the 2026 FIFA World Cup, and Super Bowl LXI. According to Metro and Mass Transit Magazine, the station features open-canopy architecture, intuitive wayfinding, sustainable elements, and multi-agency connectivity including bus and bike hubs. It represents a significant urban planning investment intended to prepare for increased passenger volumes.

LAX Airport—officially Los Angeles International Airport—is owned and operated by Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA). It ranks as the second-busiest airport in the United States. As noted in its Wikipedia entry, it handled over 76.6 million passengers in 2024 and is currently undergoing more than $15 billion in modernization efforts. These include the $900 million Transit Center and the forthcoming APM system as part of ongoing investments in infrastructure and sustainability to meet growing demand and support global events.
