Re-inventing the Transportation System in Sin City

Here’s an idea a friend sent me that would re-invent Las Vegas’ transportation system. He writes: “Google is said to be involved, as is Tesla, probably a few other surprises before it is over.”

It’s glitzy, but it doesn’t certainly strike me as terribly viable; I can’t imagine that it’s really being considered seriously. Most people visiting Vegas (who don’t drive there from California) fly in and take taxis; they’re cheap and ubiquitous.

What Vegas really needs is high-speed rail getting to it, and good mass transit on The Strip, downtown, and to the airport.
