Travel Details #4: Taxis are not just for designated drivers

Tip #4: If you have to catch a shuttle anywhere, and the shuttle is not right there, think about springing for the cab instead.

This is especially true at LAX. Don't think you can afford it? To find the cash, just try to eat before you get to the airport. The money you save by not buying overpriced mediocre meals will nearly pay for the cab ride (9.00 sandwiches and 3.00 bottles of water add up quickly).
