Three tram stops on an airport transit system. The articles are nearly identical and don't contain anything that can't just be merged into a table in the main article. I don't see independent notability of these stops. MB 05:30, 11 August 2022 (UTC)

Agreed. We don't have similar articles for the stations of the JFK Airtrain, for instance. Jfruh (talk) 17:24, 12 August 2022 (UTC)

Updated terminal listing

@RickyCourtney, what's the source on the Terminal 1 not being service by the eastmoast station in the CTA? I saw that on a map Metro put out in their survey on future C/K alignments, but there were other errors on that map and Metro isn't building the APM, so I don't think it's much to go by. Or are you getting that from somewhere else? --Jfruh (talk) 04:30, 31 March 2023 (UTC)

Sorry, I should have offered a citation. It was also in these fact sheets: https://www.lalinxs.com/downloads/east-cta-station-2020.pdf RickyCourtney (talk) 04:39, 31 March 2023 (UTC)

Huh, interesting! And very weird??? Gonna be a PITA to get terminal 1. --Jfruh (talk) 05:00, 31 March 2023 (UTC)

April 2025 opening date

Obviously it wouldn't be a surprise given Metro's track record if they miss their "late 2024" deadline for the people mover and the LAX/MTC station, but I've seen a new April 2025 opening date on several articles here and nobody ever cites a source. Where is this info coming from? Jfruh (talk) 20:53, 19 January 2024 (UTC)

the source that's referenced on in the article (https://emma.msrb.org/P21752245-P21345408-P21780601.pdf) seems to actually indicate a February 13, 2025 opening. it's on page 5. -MJ (talk) 22:58, 19 January 2024 (UTC)

New name of the LAX People Mover

I feel like the title of this article should be renamed to LAX Skylink because apparently the official name of the LAX Automated People Mover will be called Skylink. Transit Fan 163 (talk) 03:53, 25 March 2024 (UTC)

@Transit Fan 163: Can you add citations to the article with the official name? Any content in the article's body explaining the name would also help, Rjjⁱⁱⁱ (talk) 04:16, 25 March 2024 (UTC)

The name is making the rounds among LA-area transit fans because someone spotted a sign at one of the under-construction stations and posted it to Reddit. Personally I think we should hold off on adding info to the article until we have some kind of secondary source. --Jfruh (talk) 13:00, 25 March 2024 (UTC)

LAWA has confirmed the name Skylink in procurement documents, however those files require making an account with the City's procurement portal to access -- not sure how to directly link to those 108.185.112.205 (talk) 19:23, 25 March 2024 (UTC)

Honestly, we're in no rush here. We can wait for it to be confirmed in a more public name. Per Wikipedia rules, the name must be in common use for it to be the page name. We're far away from that. RickyCourtney (talk) 19:53, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
