    Sounds good, and if you don’t own the autos personally then the space needed to store them can also be partially mitigated. But it’s so so so much more environmentally damaging (which directly translates into money, as it’s more materials, more labour, more transport, more machines, etc) than a train where the equivalent of one auto can pull several cheap cars with a ton of people. And it’s so much more complicated to get right, you don’t have a successful model to copy from. It’s not that it’s a bad idea, it’s that trains and buses are a much better idea.
