Here Are LAX's Two Plans For an Airport People Mover - Ride to the Airport - Curbed LA
They are a "spine" and a "scissors".
The spine would go in between the terminal buildings, and cost $1.5 - 2 billion. It would have two airport stations. It would require a sizable walk to those buildings, about 700 ft.
The scissors would go alongside them, and cost $2 - 2.5 billion. It would have four airport stations, two on each prong. It would require less walking to the terminal buildings.
Both of them are to have a station at the upcoming Crenshaw/LAX light-rail line. Metro shelves direct rail line to LAX - Los Angeles Times (2014 Jan 23): "High cost and risks of tunneling below the airport put the plan on the back burner." Its cost would be about $3 billion.
