people mover

Nevada state regulators have accused Elon Musk’s Boring Co. of violating environmental regulations nearly 800 times in the last two years as it digs a sprawling tunnel network beneath Las Vegas for its Tesla-powered “people mover.”

The most anticipated project is the Automated People Mover — a 2.25-mile elevated train that promises to whisk travelers between airport terminals and a new parking lot, rideshare lot and the newly opened LAX/Metro Transit Center, finally offering a direct connection between the airport and rail, while improving vehicle traffic on its infamous horseshoe.

The beloved People Mover would be no more, a Jules Verne-inspired art style would come and gradually go, and Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters would arrive in 2005.

A remake of Tomorrowland in 1967 emphasized sleekness and opportunities via the arrival of the People Mover, which, along with the monorail, continued to advocate for a world less dependent on cars, while the Adventure Thru Inner Space and Carousel of Progress theorized the ways in which tech could touch our lives.

Starting next year, travelers will be able to use the automated people mover train to and from LAX and the center.
