Same logic applies to airport people movers, right?

You mean places people have lots of luggage?

People don’t carry bags at a convention center?

Like full on luggage? 🤣 Yeah, almost 100,% of the people. 😉

Even worse at convention center actually since vendors need to setup their booth with all of the props for CES. More than just luggage 😉

And they have to get it all into and out of small cars an extra time? Nice. Wonder what they did before. 🤡

There are stations located outside the convention center and in the center hall. Have one person loading the car, car drives to center hall, and another person unloads the car.
But fuck it, make multiple trips to your car in the parking lot in the hot 110 degree desert heat.

It isn't the fact that it is a "Cheap people mover", it is the fact that it is a massively scaled down, hyped-up, likely unsafe, inefficient, non-innovative, labor intensive ludicrous pretend sci-fi "solution".

It's scaled down because the project doesn't need subway capacity. It's a people mover. You don't build a subway for a convention center much like you don't need a sledge hammer to crack an egg. Do you get it now?

No---it was marketed as some massively innovative concept, yet his tunnels are as expensive as traditional tunnels, his solution is highly labor intensive, and the ultimate capacity is worse than a subway, which would suit LVs needs way better. Do you get it now?

No, Vegas ordered a scaled down version. It's in the contracts.
"as expensive as traditional tunnels"
haha, no. show me the numbers. actually let me do that for you.
This is a nonsense comparison---I said TUNNELS, not mass transit systems. The actual tunnels the boring company are digging are not cheaper, they are in fact about the same price as traditional tunnels. Musk has claimed he will make them "100 times cheaper", that's a flat out lie

And yes, Musk has used his capacity to over hype things to swindle down scaled "Versions" of his previous grandiose concepts---it isn't "innovation", it is snake oil salesmanship. And yes, these projects obfuscate/distract from real public transit projects like subways.
