Evactuated Tube Transportation Technologies (ET3) wants to build a pilot tube traveling program in West Hollywood to connect it to the Red Line and Purple Line:
LA Curbed has the story here. Maglev Tube Transit Company Wants to Build Pilot in WeHo
Let's just say I'm very skeptical. I don't see a Futurama type system in West Hollywood anytime soon.
I still think the best case scenario for the West Hollywood region is to bring Metrorail here as part of a northern extension of the Crenshaw/LAX Line, to be supplemented with streetcars and buses running in transit-only lanes (and bicycle lanes on Fountain).
But, as someone has apparently made a presentation on this to the West Hollywood City Council, I thought you should know. At one time people thought you could not sail around the world or that the human body could withstand speeds of more than 20 miles per hour. If they prove me wrong, good on them. But I don't think they will.
