But what if we put the electric cars on rails so that they are super efficient and can travel really quickly? And what if we tied multiple cars together to run with 1 engine and carry more people at a time? And then make a schedule of multiple lines of cars from place to place.

We can have them move underground from stop to stop, or above ground for longer distances.

You just pay a few $$ week to week and

Nah let’s build 30,000 parking spaces.

🙄 Let me know when you find investors to run lines to every small town in every corner of the country with trains willing to carry 1-2 passengers total. Until then, I'll have to drive to see my family...

Who is saying run lines for 1-2 passengers?

That sounds like Greyhound in hell. America is too big for just one type of transportation.
