Youre better off walking towards 7, 6, 5 because sometimes they skip the last few if the bus is completely full, which at around the holiday season can be. Just came back to LAX. The traffic there has not died down one bit getting in. The pickup area is slightly less congested, as in there are fewer cars stopped at the no stopping area (pickup/drop off only) but other than that, still took over an hour for avis bus to get INTO T1 from Avis lot, especially with the rain.
