Elon Musk's The Boring Company has received approval to construct the Dubai Loop, a new 10.6-mile tunnel system designed to transport up to 20,000 passengers per hour at speeds reaching 100 mph. Unveiled during the World Government Summit, Musk highlighted its potential for reducing travel times across the city to mere minutes. While the initial phase will cover a 10-mile stretch with 11 stations, there are aspirations for broader expansion across Dubai. Musk has likened the experience to 'wormholing' through the city, signaling a significant evolution in urban transportation.

'It's going to be like a wormhole. You just wormhole from one part of the city and you're out in another part of the city,' Musk described the system.
The Boring Company aims to reduce transport times in Dubai to 'just minutes,' targeting a future expansion that could accommodate 100,000 passengers.
Musk stated during the summit, 'It's going to seem so obvious in retrospect but until you actually do it you don't know.'
