Chicago officials may tap Elon Musk’s The Boring Company to build speedy rail service between O’Hare International Airport and the Chicago Loop business district, according to a report from Crain’s.
“We’re going to try to see if they can make it work here,” deputy mayor Steve Koch said in the report. “It depends on the cost, but I’m as intrigued as I’ve been (with anything) for a while.”
Koch reportedly met with Musk in Los Angeles, a city that has also shown interest in The Boring Company’s efforts. An underground tunnel system there would stretch from Los Angeles International Airport to the city of Santa Monica.
