Pay With Dogecoin For A Ride: Elon Musk’s Boring Company Announcement According to CNN on Wednesday, the Boring Company has made it possible for users to use DOGE to pay for rides in its recently launched Vegas Loop. The Loop is a transportation system where Tesla car drivers ferry people through a tunnel beneath Las Vegas. The first Loop station, which debuted last Friday, is located outside the Las Vegas Convention Center, but the business intends to build a 29-mile network of tunnels under the city with 50 stations in all. Although the corporation has not provided a precise date, rides on Loop are presently free. However, charges are ultimately planned. The Vegas Loop’s website states that single rides will cost $1.50, and day passes will cost $2.50. The choice to offer DOGE as a payment option was made simultaneously as the Boring Company decided to construct a Loop station at the Las Vegas Convention Center.
