According to a recent tweet by Elon Musk himself, the infamous LA Hyperloop tunnels will be open to test riders on December 10th of this year. After nearly seven years of planning and brainstorming, Musk’s vision of a “fifth mode of transport” is finally becoming a reality, and LA commuters are surely intrigued.

Los Angeles is known for its hellish traffic, making it the perfect location for Musk to implement the technology. Currently, commuters during rush hour have to add an extra 44 minutes onto their drive because of congestion on the highways. With Hyperloop open for business, commuters can expect to significantly reduce the amount of time wasted during their morning commutes, all while being emission-free, energy-efficient, and with a much smaller carbon footprint than traditional modes of transportation.
