FlyAway: an alternative through Union Station
LAX lists FlyAway buses between the airport and Union Station or Van Nuys. These are separate paid services, not direct buses to every guide area. Plan onward transit, ticketing, luggage and accessible boarding with the operator.

Check boarding, the last stretch to the entrance and the return journey. Published accessible facilities do not guarantee every elevator or vehicle is available today.
Accessible travel
Wheelchair access and elevator checks
Metro publishes accessible bus and rail boarding guidance. Check elevator and service alerts and the destination’s entrance before travel; an accessible station does not prove an uninterrupted step-free path all the way to a venue.

Access Services: arrange visitor eligibility first
Access offers visitor paratransit for eligible people who cannot use fixed-route transit because of disability-related limitations. Visitor registration and trip reservations are required. It is not a general sightseeing shuttle or a same-day ride guarantee; use the operator’s current eligibility and booking instructions.

Plan for your own mobility needs. A nearby dot is not a surveyed walking route. Follow signs, crossing rules and operator instructions; leave pedestrian and wheelchair access clear.
Walking, bikes & the last stretch
Bikes with transit; plan the last stretch
Metro explains bike racks, train boarding, parking and route maps. Space and equipment rules apply. Check the route, crossings and destination bike parking; no safe cycling route, scooter availability or walking time is inferred from a map distance.

Use only the operator’s permitted pickup areas and check the destination’s event instructions. Service coverage and vehicle availability are separate from an advertisement or partnership.
On-demand rides
Robotaxis: check the operator’s live service area
Waymo operates a public autonomous ride service in parts of Los Angeles. Use its app to check both endpoints, permitted pickup location, accessibility needs and quoted fare. This regional option is not confirmation of coverage in every guide, at LAX terminals or for a special event.

Announcements and testing do not establish passenger service. These proposals stay separate from the travel options above until their operators confirm usable service.
Future transport: not a travel plan
LAX SkyLink: not open to travelers
LAX’s current notice says SkyLink is still in testing and certification and is not open to travelers. Continue using the airport’s current shuttle arrangements. Opening information will come from LAX; no opening date is assumed here.
