Yeah, I think the original vision for the Loop tunnels is a lot more practical and compelling than what currently exists in Vegas. The primary advantages over a subway are: 1. They're point-to-point, requiring no stops between origin and destination 2. They integrate with the existing road system, allowing point-to-point transportation even between destinations where the tunnels don't run 3. They're compatible with existing electric cars, allowing owners to take their own private vehicles directly to their destination without needing to transfer between cars or share a space with strangers 4. Small tunnel diameter reduces the cost vs larger subway tunnels Of those points, only #4 got implemented in the Vegas loop and even that is debatable. Plus a lot of other important features like automated driving and dedicated mass transit vehicles got left out, which greatly reduces the ridership capacity of the tunnels compared to what they theoretically could support.
