A tunnel but you can't drive your own car?

What if I'm leaving Hawthorne and never intend to come back?

Public transportation is an above-ground extra-minimum security prison.

Think about it.

You can bring your car. You stay in the car while it’s transported on an electric skate.

Oh, great. After the California legislature reads this, they’re going to revise their high-speed rail plans to make it all go underground. Gotta keep up with the latest in technology.

Elon Musk is unstable, somewhat crazy and it’s unsettling that governments are following his half baked ideas of tunneling, etc.

Not that I give a sh*t about carbon footprints, but since the algore wackos bring it up every chance they get, I’ll beat them to the punch here:

I wonder what the carbon footprint of this tunnel is.

Sorry Elon, someone beat you to the punch, with a much better concept, fifty years ago!

And in an earthquake it can become your tomb.

Others may find the 19th century version interesting too.

Looks like a Jules Verne design.

Don’t tell me, let me guess, you’ll be transported by a magic Beam through a Black Hole in one millionth of a second back in time to whatever year and destination you desire.

May the earthquake gods protect anyone who ever uses it.

In case of “the big one” in California, where would you rather get stuck, or worse, above ground or below ground?

good to see someone thinking about something other than high speed (now low speed) trains from on farm city to another.
