The 30 second figure is from The Boring Company:
> Electric skates will leave each station as frequently as every 30 seconds. The Chicago Express Loop will operate 20 hours per day, every day of the week.

I thought they were going to have a single track tunnel with passing sidings based on the 1.6 billion dollar construction costs, which would limit frequency.
Does Musk seriously believe he get two ~20 mile tunnels and terminals for $1.6 billion? I don't know if he's exceedingly ambitious or delusional, give that a underground that's depicted in the rendering would cost 1/4 of his budget.
One of the only things that I can agree with Musk in regards to this project is that larger tunnels are more expensive.

London is relatively easy to tunnel in, and as it’s an extension existing rolling stock will be used (so no development or purchase costs).
