^^^ I agree with you. But at the same time, its not like we can avoid LAX, like lowering the convenience factor a notch will make people drive to SF for a plane ride, because as of right now, No other airport in the area has the same amount of flights, especially international, options available. Not Long Beach, not Bob Hope, Not Ontario, not even SD.

But that being said, Yeah obviously a people mover and other things will help. What needs to happen is a drop off area that is no where near the central loop. The amount of times I've heard people say

"I need to get to LAX early to beat traffic to pick up ______"

So they go to the airport early, sit in the long line of traffic and loop around endlessly before their pick up has even landed. Not knowing they are part of the traffic problem. Every time I fly in and out, if I must have someone pick me up, I don't let them know I'm ready until ive actually landed. Waiting an extra 10-15 minutes wont hurt anybody.

The Loop needs to be for Buses/Taxis/uber/Limos and private cars for the rich and famous and political figures.

Everybody else need to be pushed (via people mover) some where else like the future rental car complex thing. We cant keep expecting the loop to be able to handle 70+ million people on its own.
