Elon Musk quotes high speed moving tunnel: only 1 USD to go 30km in 8 minutes

Recently, Elon Musk and the Director of The Boring Company, Steve Davis, revealed the first details regarding the project of the super-tunnel tunnel in the heart of Los Angeles. The event took place in Leo Baeck Cathedral, west of Los Angeles, on the Interstate 405 Expressway (I-405) and attracted more than 750 attendees.

Specifically, Musk has officially announced the concept of Loop - a high-speed travel system (more than 240 km / h) with the ability to bring 16 people from the city center to Los Angeles international airport (about 30km) within 8 minutes. More specifically, ticket prices for this premium service are extremely 'chestnut', only 1 USD (nearly 23,000 VND) / 1 turn.

In addition, Elon Musk also revealed more about the plan to build hundreds of other transfer stations with an area equal to or twice that of a regular car park. He hopes this will contribute to reducing traffic congestion in any street in peak hours.

Earlier, Musk also posted a personal Instagram video revealing that the tunnel project was about to be completed and ready to serve people in the next few months but did not publish a specific time.

Until now, Musk has repeatedly criticized the transportation system in Los Angeles. That is one of the reasons why he founded and focused on tunneling for the past 1 year. He said: ' I think it is the only way to thoroughly solve' chronic congestion 'in major cities.'

Elon Musk wants to build a tunnel system to limit traffic congestion in big cities.

In Musk's tunnel project and The Boring Company, there is a 4.5km long road running parallel to the I-405 highway. Types of public transport such as buses will not be allowed to use this tunnel.

Why is this road so special? Simply because Elon Musk hates traffic at the I-405 highway. Musk compares the traffic situation here equivalent to 'the 7th or 8th floor in hell'. He also shared that because of that horrible congestion, this event started later than planned.

In addition, the Los Angeles underground tunnel is just the beginning of a bigger Musk plan: allowing people to move at a plane speed but at a much lower price. In 2017, The Boring Company was also licensed to build the first Hyperloop system linking New York with Washington, DC.

The Los Angeles subterranean tunnel is just the first step in Elon Musk's Hyperloop plan.

On the other hand, after sharing specific details about the tunnel in Los Angeles, Musk did not forget to "kick" Uber's flying car project and said it was an unrealistic idea.

He pointed out a lot of benefits that the tunnel could bring as limiting negative effects from good weather, allowing him to redistribute the lane system to the most scientific. He said: 'For tunnels, you can create hundreds of different lanes, not limited to existing highways on the ground'.

In addition, he confirmed that this project will be absolutely safe and will not cause any negative effects. People will not be bothered by the noise caused by the underground traffic system, and the earthquakes will not cause much damage to the tunnel.
