Overview
- The Automated People Mover, which starts passenger-free “simulated operations” Monday, will run empty trains around the clock for about 60 days.
- Before riders can board, the line must complete 30 consecutive days without any breakdowns or stuck platform doors, a bar that reports say could push any opening past June’s World Cup.
- Airport officials reported a very minor low-speed bump in a maintenance facility with no injuries, no damage, and no change to the testing plan.
- The builder, LAX Integrated Express Solutions, filed a government claim tied to about $36 million in electrical repair work that shut off power from February to July and delayed earlier tests.
- The 2.25-mile, six-station electric train is designed to link terminals with parking, a rental car hub, and Metro connections, and it will be free for ticketed passengers, guests, and employees.
