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

What "traditional tunnels" are you talking about? Where's your numbers? You're making accusations without any evidence to back anything up. Boring Company tunnels take $10 million/mile to dig. Rest of the money is spent on building stations.

This is really stupid---you obviously aren't an engineer. The per mile distance is not the only thing that matters, what about diameter? In fact, Musk's tunnels are actually very narrow. If you adjust for the diameter they aren't cheaper.

you're going to believe a guy who builds his channel around obsessing about elon?

Oh so you think posting Elon fan boy "Debunk" videos mean anything? That guy has no science training and just posts his feels about how great Elon is. TF at least has a background in physics. Also, you haven't actually addressed the fact that Boring tunnels are NOT CHEAPER

So if it's an Elon hater, it's valid.
If it's an Elon fanboy, it's invalid.
Very objective, right?
YOU STILL HAVENT POSTED A "TRADITIONAL TUNNEL" COST

Again I HAVE---you are just too brain dead to realize that the cost depends on many factors. There isn't ONE COST. It depends on diameter, what you are tunneling through, etc. This graph is probably the best way to understand tunnel cost.

Just moving the goal posts---the same applies everywhere. You cited a number that didn't even take into account diameter. Obviously you aren't an engineer or care about these topics seriously. It is just Elon fanboyism for you.

not moving goal posts. if you put elon's tunnel size (12.5) on that graph, it's literally still cheaper!
Thanks for proving my point
