Here’s hoping for train to LAX
I was glad to see “LAX-Downtown Rail Plan May Finally Be Leaving the Station,” [Travel Insider, Jan. 30] and learn there’s yet hope the trains will reach LAX before the next millennium. I seem to recall heavy lobbying against the Green Line going to LAX when it was built. And I couldn’t believe city leaders allowed them to prevail, regardless of “marketing surveys.” What a joke.
It is nothing short of a scandal that you can’t get to LAX by rail, just incredible as traffic gets worse and worse.

EVERY major metro area I’ve been in has a user-friendly transport to the airport. I can get about in London, Frankfurt or Tokyo easier than I can get to LAX.
I live close to the Green Line terminal in Norwalk and have never taken it. I inquired how to get from my home to LAX by way of the Green Line and was told it would take about three hours.
