My thought process was... Hyperloops are round + tunnels are round = Boring Company Putting cars through the tunnels is not what I first expected.

  It's the sort of thing a guy who owns a car company would do, not someone who's actually trying to solve a transportation problem.

    Or a person who actually understands what people want in a transportation solution. Nobody outside of city planners and environmentalists take the train/bus solution seriously because it's such a lifestyle downgrade from cars.

      If you're in a city that's not explicitly designed around cars, a car is a total hassle. America's gone all-in on cars, but even then the current generation is abandoning them and instead doing something crazy: Living close to where they work. A car is a massive investment of time, money, and emotional capital that an increasing number of people are simply unwilling to make.
