Tunnels under cities to decrease traffic?
How would this work in tunnels?
Couple dozen 55km Boring Company Tunnels could do the trick, no?
Doesn't every tunnel boring machine do this?
So tunneling isn't just an engineering choice, it's a planning survival strategy
Better yet - tunnel it underground.
Need more tunnels. Call the Boring Company.
Maybe Elon's tunnels could solve this?
You're conflating Musk's underground highway concept with his proposed solutions for cheaper tunnel construction. The latter is required for the former, but not vice-versa. Musk's 14-foot tunnels are large enough for a traditional subway. See my reply to the parent.
Tunnels are only useful if they go somewhere.
