We have re-invented trains for the 500th time. Good job world.
What about trains underground?
Maybe even powered by electricity.
Is this "ThE lOop"?
Is that like crabification for vehicles?
But this time, it's different!
My trains have black jack and hookers.
But it's an even worse version because with it the traffic on rail networks would explode, the complexity of the unit that moves everything increases (as well as cost), and it pisses away all the efficiency trains get from economies of scale. A 2 mile train will always be more efficient than this crap. And that's all before you consider the safety nightmare that this would cause.
