Is the current plan actually for mass transit or just point-to-point rather exclusive transit?

I'll believe it when I see it. Being a rich techie doesn't mean you know how to build a public transit system

He seems to be angling for Mass Transit 2.0: The Bus Comes to You.

Is that going to work? I don't know yet. I want to believe, though.

It will make things better, but I don't think it can solve anything outright. Grade separation, which provides load balancing and a sort of fail-over route, is the real deal.

Both of those are bids, not projects for which the Boring Company has been selected.
