Overview
- The automated train will run empty on a full 24/7 schedule starting Monday in a roughly 60-day trial that requires 30 straight days without a single hiccup.
- Airport officials said even a small problem like a platform door failing to open would reset the 30-day clock.
- A very minor bump between slow-moving trains inside a maintenance and storage facility was reported this week with no injuries or damage.
- The 2.25-mile, six-station electric line will link terminals, parking areas and regional transit and will be free for ticketed passengers, guests and employees once it opens.
- Disputes between Los Angeles World Airports and contractor LINXS continue, including a government claim tied to about $36 million in repair work after last year’s power shutdowns, and no opening date has been announced.
