Will it be an LA model?
It wasn't immediately obvious if the Dubai Loop will mirror the Las Vegas model of the loop project by Boring Company. LVCC Loop: The Las Vegas Convention Centre (LVCC) Loop is an underground people mover serving the Las Vegas Convention Centre.
The Vegas Loop will shuttle riders in Tesla Model 3 cars.
