Elon Musk’s ambitious plan to reduce traveling times with tunnel systems beneath major cities has just had a major makeover.

He tweeted details this evening on an adjusted plan for the urban loop system, revealing a new focus on mass transit.

Instead of starting with carrying individual cars at high-speeds on electric sleds, the plan now is to use that Hyperloop to transport pedestrians and cyclists first, and then only later to work on moving cars around underground to bypass traffic.

The passenger electric buses would descend to the tunnels in an elevator shaft, before setting off on a track where they can hit speeds of up to 125 miles per hour (200km/h).

Musk said The plan to transport cars is still on, "but only after all personalized mass transit needs are met. It’s a matter of courtesy & fairness. If someone can’t afford a car, they should go first."

The Boring Co urban loop would have 1000’s of small stations the size of a single parking space that take you very close to your destination & blend seamlessly into the fabric of a city, rather than being a small number of big stations like a subway.

WHAT IS THE HYPERLOOP?
Hyperloop is a proposed method of travel that would transport people at roughly 700mph between distant locations.

It is essentially a long tube that has had the air removed to create a vacuum.

It can take passengers the 380 miles from LA to San Francisco in 30 minutes i.e half the time it takes an aeroplane.

The tube is suspended off the ground to protect against weather and earthquakes.

There are many companies trying to bring the technology to life, including Elon Musk himself, Hyperloop Transportation Technologies, and Virgin Hyperloop One.

Sometimes you wonder if the make up of the African brain is the same as that of the Westerner.
While we are fixated on eradicating poverty by 2030, others are looking into the future by doing the unbelievable.

Oh yeah? Drs Ben Omalu and Samuel Achilefu were born in Nigeria. Philip Emeagwali is also Nigerian, and oh, I was born in the White House.
Continue to live in fools paradise, at least you don't get to pay mortgage.

Still dangerous in my opinion
The present disadvantages outweighs the advantages.
It's a major breakthrough in technology though I wouldn't want to be the first to try it out

Nice technology
but some modification has to made because such an high speed can cause physiological imbalance like increase in heart rate, disruption of bowel content which may lead to vomiting etc

The truth be said, among all the geographical regions of the world; in my own opinion I think is only the continent of Africa that is taking the world back, we can't hear of this kind of technological break through, be it in science and technology etc, what we hear about is here is one calling the other tribe Igbos or cone heads or skull mining etc, is time we begin to think on how to add some thing meaningful to humanity.
