To the editor: What a implausible article on the general public transit expertise attending to LAX (“I took the dare and rode mass transit to LAX. It took 3 hours however was not all unhealthy,” April 6). The writer precisely documented the expertise and outlined the professionals (affordability) and cons (it takes means an excessive amount of time).
This ought to be learn by these in public transit and LA28 with open arms. They need to pat themselves on the again for the great and settle for the faults that had been discovered and put collectively a plan to repair them. They need to repeat the experiment from completely different areas and at completely different occasions. They need to reverse-test going from LAX to many areas, together with resorts, amusement parks, Olympic venues and numerous houses. Then rinse and repeat with a plan to generate an intensive report with advisable fixes.
They need to additionally create a sturdy app that will be clear and concise utilizing current map apps, cab and bus apps, and many others. Sure, these fixes would come at a price, however after I and others buy our allotment of high-cost obtainable tickets for the Olympics, money shouldn’t be a difficulty.
And when the Olympics are over? We might have a much-improved public transit system.

To the editor: Thanks for profiling mass transit choices to and from LAX. With the long-distance traveler in thoughts, I might make the next strategies to town:
1. Reinstate FlyAway service to and from key locations, such because the Norwalk or Fullerton Metrolink station, that aren’t simply linked to the Union Station or Van Nuys FlyAway depots.
2. Set up automotive rental amenities inside strolling distance of key transit nodes with prolonged hours, and preserve them open on Sundays.
3. And, sure, restore the loos and elevators and clear up the joint.
Let’s ask Mayor Karen Bass if she would use mass transit to LAX or her non-public automotive service that insulates her from what she needs the remainder of us to make use of.

To the editor: I used to be sorry the author of the article had such a troublesome time attending to LAX. I’m a 74-year-old girl who not solely takes Metrolink to LAX from San Bernardino, however seems to be ahead to it. I’ve a buddy drop me on the station and the second I get there, I really feel myself calm down as my trip has begun. And sure, I haul my very own baggage and a backpack. Paying for and even discovering one other approach to get there from the Inland Empire is a nonstarter.
