The biggest advantage of an underground six lane roll on ,
roll off rail system is the enormous saving in human time.
If just one fifth of American drivers say 20m people used it
for two hours a day , it would save 40m hours of human time and even
if you value such time at say $10 an hour , it would save $400m a day
, ie $12b a month or $144b a year!
So instead of fretting and getting your arteries clogged
fuming in traffic jams , you drive on at a station near you and drive
off at your work place , or even non car owners can benefit from such
fast safe systems .
The reason the west is rich is that it gets machines to do the
work , humans have to do in the poor countries and this rail system
would be a quantum leap forward.
