people mover

Plans for a 1.7-mile proposed people mover that would drop Los Angeles rail riders off at the foot of SoFi Stadium have been upended after South Bay cities voted down a request for $493 million more to build the project, putting into jeopardy $1 billion of federal funding.

The three-stop people mover would connect to the K Line, creating a wider transit network for the growing rail system that the Metropolitan Transportation Authority is erecting.

Four train cars arrived at Los Angeles International Airport, completing the upcoming Automated People Mover’s total set of 44 and shifting the focus of the long-awaited project to testing.

Officials said that the changes won’t affect several projects that are underway, such as the Automated People Mover train that is planned to open in January 2025.

Once the train is running, the ride-hail lot is also expected to move to a new location accessible by the People Mover.
