Part 2/5:

The centerpiece of the LAX development is an automated people mover (APM), a 2.25-mile elevated train system with six stations. This will help reduce congestion by pushing 42 million vehicles off the roads. The APM will connect to a new Consolidated Rent-A-Car facility and the city's Metro network, making it easier for passengers to navigate the airport and the city.

Lessons from the Past

Los Angeles has hosted the Olympics twice before, in 1932 and 1984. The 1984 games were considered a huge success, as LA adopted a "no-build" policy, modifying existing stadiums instead of constructing new ones. They also freely accepted private sponsorship, earning a profit of $225 million.
