The Vegas Loop Is Getting Progressively More Stupid

I’d strongly recommend that you watch this video: “The Vegas Loop Is Getting Progressively More Stupid”.[1] [1] [VIDEO] (22:05)

This video gives a first hand experience that seems to cover everything: [VIDEO] It looks like a project that they just gave up on ...

There was a CityNerd video (which you may take or leave in general, but I found the anecdote interesting) in which there appeared to be one vehicle in service on the entire system: [VIDEO] I assume though that they would adjust the capacity depending on time of day and whether there's an event or something going on, to some degree.

Boring company's las vegas tunnel is horrible. It's a one-way tunnel that barely provides transit to anybody. [1] [1] [VIDEO]

My opinion makes no difference in the scheme of things, but yes, I'd still think it's a waste. There's a monorail. Spend the money on making that suck less instead. [VIDEO] is where I'm coming from. The section of the system, where there's one tunnel, so the previous car has to clear the tunnel before the next vehicle can go, seems particularly stupid.

It's possible to be pro-progress while being anti-this specific thing. In particular, Elon Musk came out and admitted that he hates trains and busses and admitted that he just made up Boring Co to distract from giving money to them. The Boring Co tunnels in Vegas are a boondoggle and not even well designed (whether that's due to lack of funds or stupidity or corruption, who knows!). The problem is the opportunity cost. The millions that went into the Vegas tunnels could have gone into improving the existing monorail system, but instead there's this stupid thing. The tunnels are cool and the technology is neat. I'm not in charge of anything, but no thanks. Here's where I'm coming from: [VIDEO]

Good execution. The Vegas loop doesn't seem like that at all: [VIDEO] It looks like a project they just quit on.
