Boring Company is dangerously close to being able to provide every city dozens of miles of light rail/BRT type capacity with no public money, limited utilities interruption, and minimal new right-of-way. While offering passenger travel times that are a fraction of other transit.

This completes a 2.26 mile long Vegas Loop tunnel, connecting a property close to the Airport in the south to the Westgate Resort in the north. Along the way, there will be 8 new stations, including the Virgin Hotels and the Hughes Center.

I love trains, but the future is individualized mass transit with autonomous electric vehicles taking you precisely to your destination.
Tunnels are needed to address the fundamental choke points in cities. You can’t have 3D buildings and expect a 2D transport system to be effective! Multiple layers of tunnels enable transport to be 3D too.
The fastest way to travel long distances city center to city center, short of new physics, is cars/pods in vacuum tunnels.
