From a Bluesky post by Brent Toderian.
To carry 50,000 people per hour in each direction, a city needs a 175m wide road for cars. Even if those cars are electric. And then there’s all the parking. OR a city can move A LOT MORE people in a lot less space, with A LOT LESS public money, emissions, pollution, noise etc. Choices. Simple.
How much would trams carry? About a quarter or a fifth of a metro, but they are on the other hand cheaper to build and run.
