Ok, so the center of LA to Culver City is 16 km via Google Maps. A snail goes at 1 cm/s. So 18 days of boring assuming everything works out. That's actually super fast.
- mark212 10y agoat my company, we only run our snails 8 hours per day and they get an hour for lunch. (And the tunnel is LAX to Culver City-Westwood-Sherman Oaks, not downtown. There's already a train that runs downtown to LAX. LAX to Westwood is 18.2 km on the roads per google maps)
- tomjakubowski 10y agoWhat train runs downtown to LAX? The closest you could do today is take Blue from 7th/Flower to south central, transfer to Green and take that to the end of the line. And there's a 15-20 minute shuttle at the end of that before you're actually in the airport.
- tylerflick 10y ago> There's already a train that runs downtown to LAX I'm assuming you're talking about the Green Line connecting with the Blue Line? The Green Line doesn't stop at LAX. It stops outside of the airport, leaving passengers to take a cab for the last mile. Not to mention you have to hop a connection to the Blue Line, which doesn't stop at Union Station.
- iamacynic 10y agothis is basically going to be a "rich west side and valley people can get to the airport really fast in their luxury cars" solution until they bootstrap it into a larger metro network. kind of like the tesla roadster begat the model S begat the 3 (supposedly).
