I like the sentiment of this but Elon isn't the right person. He hates all things mass transit.

  This isn’t true. The Boring Company’s first two projects are intercity mass transit (Baltimore-DC) and local mass transit (O’Hare-downtown Chicago).

    He seems to be angling for Mass Transit 2.0: The Bus Comes to You. Is that going to work? I don't know yet. I want to believe, though.

      It will make things better, but I don't think it can solve anything outright. Grade separation, which provides load balancing and a sort of fail-over route, is the real deal.

    I'll believe it when I see it. Being a rich techie doesn't mean you know how to build a public transit system

    Is the current plan actually for mass transit or just point-to-point rather exclusive transit? https://www.citylab.com/transportation/2017/12/what-elon-musk-doesnt-get-about-urban-transit/548843/ https://www.citylab.com/transportation/2017/12/what-elon-mus... was doing the rounds a few weeks ago

    Both of those are bids, not projects for which the Boring Company has been selected.
