LIGHT RAIL FAIL: LAX Light Rail Misses Airport by a Mile.

s they tout a posh redo of the Tom Bradley International Terminal meant to reposition LAX as a travel hub for the new millennium, Los Angeles leaders are creating a potentially hobbling obstacle for the airport. The other big mass-transit infrastructure project nearby, the “Crenshaw/LAX” Metro light rail, will stop a full mile short of LAX.

That fact is almost certain to baffle and anger travelers to LAX, and help cement the old joke that “Los Angeles planning is an oxymoron.”

Emphasis on the “moron.”
