Elon Musk recently tweeted about prioritizing pedestrians and cyclists with his 'Urban Loop System.'

These pods would ideally be better than subways and shuttles because they can reach speeds up to 125 mph and would leave you closer to your destination thanks to thousands of small stations.

People are voicing concerns about safety, travel time, and cost of this system, but some see it as the future of mass transit.
