Journey times vary depending on traffic, terminal pickup point, and final destination in the city center.

Bus

Municipal buses serve the LAX/Metro Transit Center and nearby airport transport hubs, with free airport shuttles linking terminals to public transit. This is usually the cheapest way to reach central Los Angeles, though it may require transfers. Average travel time to Downtown Los Angeles is about 60 to 90 minutes.

Airport Shuttle

LAX does not operate Havas or Havabus services; the main scheduled airport coach is the LAX FlyAway. It runs regular nonstop buses from airport terminals to key Los Angeles stops.
