    This is going to be really high cost though. If only there was a way to move people en masse around a city, with a reliable and frequent service, funded by tax payer dollars so the cost for an individual is extremely low and affordable…

    Alas, no such thing has ever been invented.

      Well just think about it. You’re talking about some underground network of tunnels that can shuttle hundreds of thousands of people per day from place to place, probably noisy and dirty, probably full of homeless people, and you’d have to have constant signs and announcements telling people where to go.

      That’s just madness, and no sane person would stand for it.
