The idea being that it will save 1/2 an hour vs CTA and untold more vs driving at rush hour I assume. Similar to the rapid transit downtown in London I assume? I dunno, seems cool.
you can't seriously believe this.
Express trains from Heathrow to downtown are 15 minutes and only stop at one place, the tube takes an hour. Tube / CTA is cramped as hell and the Express Train / TeslaTunnel is comfortable. Seems similar enough.
The difference is the car part of this, but it will be all Rideshares anyway.
Also it is definitely cool as an early proof of concept. No question about it. It might be clunky and not work, but we’ve made zero significant transit advances in this country for generations. I’m glad someone is trying something.
