The bart is basically the crowning achievement of US public transit. As for the solutions coming from everyone's favourite bay Aryan Elon Musk, they are...somewhat lacking.

You're probably not going to believe this but the Hyperloop in Las Vegas:

- is now just "the loop."

- only has 8 stops

- doesnt go to the airport

- most stations are unprotected park benches in the desert sun

- vehicles arent driverless

- speeds are 26 miles per hour instead of 155

- it can take up to 20 minutes for a ride to show up

- it does not go to or from the airport.

- it only runs for 11 hours a day at some stations.

- cost taxpayers fifty-three million dollars.

The hyperloop idea (which was just a presentation with no plans to build it) is an entirely different thing from the boring company tunnels
