Original Note:
The Boring Co achieved 4,431 passengers per hour in 2021. Musk has said they could easily achieve >10K. The 1.7 mile LVCC Loop cost was approx. $47M for 2 tunnels & 3 stations. Significantly less than the $3B per-mile bay area Downtown Extension. https://www.reviewjournal.com/local/traffic/boring-co-hits-1m-passengers-at-vegas-convention-center-loop-2743720/#:~:text=A%20capacity%20test%20conducted%20in,handle%204%2C431%20passengers%20per%20hour. https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1657166583528321024?s=20 https://www.boringcompany.com/lvcc#:~:text=LVCC%20Loop's%20cost%20was%20approximately,road%20closures%20and%20zero%20disturbances. https://sf.curbed.com/2018/6/18/17464616/bay-area-subway-train-rail-costs-price-bart-muni
