Nashville Opposes Elon Musk’s Loop Tunnel — a Decade Later, Still No Proof It Beats a Subway

Nashville’s Metro Council voted 20‑15 to formally oppose the Boring Company’s Music City Loop, a 13‑mile underground tunnel linking downtown to the airport. The state of Tennessee is pushing the project forward, with legislation to centralize oversight and strip the city of assessment authority. Proponents claim the Loop can out‑perform subways, yet the only operational system in Las Vegas shows far lower passenger capacity than conventional rail. Safety fines and opaque financial plans further erode confidence in the venture.
