The Rundown: Dubai just approved its first international Loop project with Elon Musk’s Boring Company: a $154M, 4-mile EV-only tunnel with four underground stations linking the Dubai International Financial Centre to Dubai Mall.
The details:
The Loop will run as an EV-only public shuttle using Tesla vehicles operated by Boring Company staff — riders can’t drive their own cars through the tunnels.Dubai plans to start construction immediately, with the first phase targeted for completion within about one to two years.The route is projected to move roughly 13K passengers per day at launch, with the wider network eventually handling up to 30K daily. A full buildout could expand the Loop into a roughly 15-mile network with 19 stations, estimated at $545 million.
Why it matters: Dubai’s Loop is the first international deployment of Musk’s “Teslas in tunnels” transit model and the biggest test yet of whether smaller-bore tunnels can actually compete with conventional metro systems in a major city. Success could validate the still-contentious Music City Loop in Nashville.
