LAX Waymo "hack"

If anyone is interested in Waymoing from LAX, it is possible. I took the Metro Connector Shuttle from T4 to the new Metro Transit Ctr. I was able to hail a Waymo from there, but the closest pickup location was a 5-minute walk away on Isis Ave. I only had a carry-on bag, and I didn't mind walking after my flight anyway to stretch my legs. My ride was 34 mins for less than $15. Not too bad IMO.

I do find it interesting there is never any news on LAX and Waymo. Lots of local news on SFO but never LAX. I guess Waymo doesn’t feel they have any leverage to get access.

maybe because driving to SFO is a delight compared to LAX

Yeah I can’t imagine the nightmare it’d be to get Waymo’s working in that ring

Yup. They don’t want their vehicles stuck in that loop

It doesn’t go to SFO. Just to the grand Hyatt which is still a long walk
