LAX’s $3.3B SkyLink train is 99% done and still empty

It was supposed to be opened years ago, before the world cup but missed that. The builder (LINXS) sued the city in early July saying that LAWA (Los Angeles World Airports) hid delays and racked up charge orders. LAX says the claim has no merit. The original cost was $1.9 billion and has now increased to $3.3B now.
Until then riders will still be dumped at the Westchester transit center and take a shuttle bus into the terminals. Airport traffic will still get worse. Why? Well we have the Superbowl LXI coming up at So-Fi in FEB 2027 then the Olympics in 2028. The people mover at LAX is basically built. But still empty carts are still making test trips on the elevated track. But still no passengers can ride it. (What's taking so long?)
