ELON Musk provided a clearer glimpse of what his proposed tunnel-based transportation system could look like, and it takes a populist bent.

The billionaire technology entrepreneur said his tunnelling startup, Boring Co, will prioritise pedestrians and cyclists in its hyperloop plan. The system "will still transport cars but only after all personalised mass transit needs are met", Mr Musk wrote on Twitter. "It's a matter of courtesy and fairness. If someone can't afford a car, they should go first."
