Boring Company selected to construct high speed train to Chicago O'Hare International Airport

Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel announced (14-Jun-2018) selection of The Boring Company to construct and operate an express service to Chicago O'Hare International Airport. The company plans to transport passengers between the airport and Block 37 in approximately 12 minutes each way by utilising electric vehicles that run through new twin underground tunnels. Each vehicle will carry up to 16 passengers, plus their luggage, and will depart from the airport and from Block 37 as frequently as every 30 seconds. The Boring Company plans to charge fares below the RFP requirement so that the service will cost less than current taxi and rideshare services. The City will now begin contract negotiations with The Boring Company. Following this negotiation process the agreement will be presented to the City Council. [more - original PR]
