LA is building out subways and light rail. But it's definitely still too slow.
Since there's so much sprawl, it would seem that a spoke and hub system would be most likely what needs to happen, with a few hubs.
Imagine a mass transit vehicle that can hit 100+ mph between union station and LAX? The biggest thing to ensure is that once you exit LAX or wherever that spoke ends that there is infrastructure to hold that type of capacity.
Imagine, union station to LAX in 5-8 minutes. Elon's commute might be slightly longer as he would have to take a surface street from that hub to his end location.
Have the hubs at the densest areas and have spokes for them.
Santa Monica<->Sherman Oaks
Santa Monica<->LAX
LAX<->Union Station
Santa Monica<->Union Station
Union Station<->Pasadena
Union Station<->Burbank
etc. etc.
Each hop taking just a few minutes due to the speed and no stops in between.
