Abstract
The examination of ground transportation conditions at the Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) suggests that while there is still some potential street and freeway capacity left, future problems may arise. Ground transportation limitations require that means must be found either to decentralize departing flights or bring arriving passengers to the airport by other means.
The Department of Airports proposes a system of satellite airports and metroports, utilizing flying buses or VTOL/STOL aircraft to transport passengers around the metroport area. To be successful, the system should provide a flat rate fare for all passengers, regardless of their airport destination.
