solving the 45 minute walk to just a few minute ride actually

The funny thing though is the extreme cost of this "System" also, the fact that they have to pay drivers, it isn't automated, and the tunnels do not have any ventilation or safety features so if there's a fire people will literally suffocate.

It’s $160 million cheaper than the next cheapest proposal which was $215 million for a rail system.
Automated was never promised in the contracts. Tunnels do have ventilation and safety features.
You’re just flat out wrong here.

Actually, you are making stuff up---they are under their promised capacity for the system because the system doesn't meet the fire spec regulations for the promised rate.

'Testing'. They reached it in testing. 🤣

Which makes the tech crunch complete bullshit as fire code didn’t prevent them from reaching that number.

In a 'test'. 🤣

That’s what you do to confirm capacity. How else would you confirm capacity?

In real life? You run it during a busy time, following all the rules and see where you get. Max capacity during a closed test means fuck all.

Real life doesn’t give you capacity dummy.
Running it in real life gives you average ridership as there are trips where you don’t fill the vehicle with 100% capacity.

You know a subway doesn't have that problem because you can actually fill every space at full capacity. In glorified taxis, you will have single riders or will you awkwardly split up families and groups?
