The Boring Company's Las Vegas loop is drawing in both riders and trespassers.

It is anything but boring for the management of The Boring Company's 2.4-mile underground Loop, with at least 67 trespassing occurrences since 2022, a deep dive from Fortune revealed.

Meant to take people under the Las Vegas Convention center in Teslas, others who have infiltrated the tunnels include a skateboarder, a photographer, and some unauthorized vehicles tagging after the Teslas into the tunnel stations. Some trespassers, no doubt bored and curious but others are lost, and drivers think they are going into one of those parking or rideshare lots. (That's what they tell convention officials, wink wink.)

To control the flow, The Boring Company has taken steps, installing license plate readers to block unrecognized vehicles. While the outfit's grand plans to build an autonomous, high-speed transportation hyperloop appear stalled indefinitely, more than 2 million passengers used the system from its opening day in June 2021 and November of last year alone, Fortune says.
