Tesla built a train line!

Tesla Europe has announced the newest addition to Gigafactory Berlin’s amenities – the “Giga Train.” The shuttle service is expected to provide employees and commuters a free ride to and from the electric vehicle production complex.

The Giga Train would be in operation 24 hours a day, Monday to Friday to accommodate all shifts. So far, the train is expected to transport over 1,500 Giga Berlin employees to and from the facility on a daily basis. Tesla noted that the Giga Train would be free to use by both its employees and citizens alike. This should make the shuttle a welcome addition for people working in the area.

What other car-maker would build a train line for their employees?
