Oh, no! Looks like officials were bribed to spend money on stupid shit that is not useful in anyway! But our society needs these philanthropists. It just does.
I’m not as pessimistic as you. This venture will obviously fail but at least musk took care of the expensive part of drilling the tunnels. What’s do you think about the over/under of this being converted to train within 15 years?
It’ll be filled with the newly homeless in a decade.
Or probably collapsed from lack of maintenance
A car can barely fit in those tunnels. They would have to make those several times bigger for trains + add emergency exits and vents the Musk didn’t bother to build
The downvotes suggest that I don’t know what I’m talking about. Thanks for the info.
Respect.
will never happen so i’ll tale the over.

Didn’t the cab companies interfere with that? Or at least lobby hard against it?
They did. They’re also the reason why it took Uber and Lyft ages to break into the Vegas market.

I mean, I’d believe that too. I’m pretty far from it and avoid the strip as much as possible, so I’ve never had the “pleasure”.

If they don’t hurry up and extend it, how else will House take all the NCR soldier’s money while they’re on leave.

Yeah, it’s literally a hat on some dude’s head, they couldn’t even make a real monorail
And still his fanboys think this is a great idea. It’s so idiotic, if it were a movie I probably would turn it off because it was too unrealistic.
Near me they built a pedestrian friendly trendy gentrified plaza. I looked on google maps. The parking lot is 5 times the size of the plaza.
This is called simulated urbanism.
The could’ve actually built a transport vehicle thrill ride hybrid but they decided to build a dystopian traffic jam simulator
Trams are perfect for the strip. One with maybe 5 or so stops would probably get a lot of use.

Las Vegas Loop sounds like a Mario Kart track

Can you even turn that thing in a metro?
