The metro of the future… with cars? #Shorts

What if the metro of the future used electric cars underground instead of trains?

That is the bet The Boring Company is testing in Dubai. Its Dubai Loop does not work like a conventional metro: it consists of narrow tunnels through which electric vehicles, usually Teslas, travel to connect specific points in the city.

The advantage seems clear: less digging and direct trips. But there is a catch: putting cars underground does not eliminate traffic jams. Bottlenecks can arise at entrances, exits, or stations.

That is why the Loop could be useful as a complement in very specific areas, but it still has to prove that it can move large numbers of people efficiently.
