    Elon has been looking for excuses to build long tunnels, which are uncommon events, I wonder what he’s actually doing this for. He’s trying to do some testing of some sort

      It’s to stop, hinder or slow down adoption of public transit. He has a car company. It would hurt his bottom line

    like with the hyperloop scam, which prevented california,s fast rail. bart/caltrain for what it was is still very inadequete and unreliable.

      BART could sure as fuck be a lot better. But I think they just laid some track between Bakersfield and Barstow or something.

        wish it goes to oyster point, mostly because biotech campuses are there and in south bay area, and people find it hard press to get jobs without spending alot of money on car and gas, or even apply there. an actual fast rail woulve solved alot of these issues.

    This is probably the least socially harmful of all the awful things Nashville would otherwise spend that money on. So fine, let them bury their public funds underground. Better than institutionally abusing trans kids or whatever the fuck else they do there.

    Tunnel + train? – sounds good

    Tunnel + gadgetbahn? – no, fuck off

    Tunnel + individual cars? – laughable
