I get that LAWA had massive obstacles to overcome. But, it seems like their solution only really benefits people coming south on the 405. (And, eventually, for the few that arrive via Metro.)

And even that solution isn't great unless you're flying out of the Tom Bradley International Terminal. That terminal is the only ones where the stations are right at the terminal. If this image from the LAWA website accurate, Terminal 1 won't even have direct access to a station. Nor will Terminals 0 and 9 once they get built.

Again, I totally get the obstacles and maybe all of their planners are smarter than I am. But all of these new facilities (including the CTA stations) all seem to be in the wrong places unless you're arriving south on the 405 to pick up/drop off passengers.

Anyway, thank you to those who provided the information and opinions.
