Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and Founder of The Boring Company, has announced the joint project of 'Dubai Loop', an underground transport system aimed at reducing traffic congestion and ensuring seamless city travel. The announcement was jointly made alongside His Excellency Omar Sultan Al Olama, UAE’s Minister for Aritificial intelligence, Digital Economy and Remote Work Applications and the Managing Director of the World Government Summit, on the final day of the World Governments Summit 2025.
The Dubai Loop will function similarly to the Las Vegas Loop, where high-speed tunnels transport passengers efficiently while avoiding surface traffic delays. Covering Dubai’s busiest areas, the project seeks to make city travel faster, quieter and more efficient.
Musk emphasised that one of the solutions to reduce traffic problems is to make transportation 3D which can be done either through flying vehicles or through underground tunnels, which does not restrict mobility in just two directions.
Musk also pointed out the advantages of underground transport in reducing noise issues and also ensuring more safety during calamitous events on the surface.“Going 3D underground is much better than going 3D above ground, for solving traffic in cities.", he said.
