To put that in perspective, NY's light rail has 9000 passengers per hour capacity. NY's subways have <50,000 passengers per hour capacity. Thats the busiest mass transport system in the US. Those cant compete with Boring Tunnel mass transport system. NY's subway system costs ~$2 billion per mile to build shouldered entirely by tax payers. Plus another $2 billion per year to maintain the system.
If you want to go from point A to F in a train, you need to go from A->B->C->D->E->F with stops along the way. If you want to go in a boring tunnel, you go from A->F directly without stop.
More passenger capacity
Faster transit time
Less costly in development and maintenance
Cost $0 to tax payers
Can be build within a year
