no, it isn't. The company's goal is to build a tunnel and let electric pallets pass through the tunnel. Each pallet carries a car and each car carries passengers.
generally speaking, a car can accommodate one or two people. Suppose the average is 1. Five people. The pallet must be large enough to accommodate the largest car, which is designed to be transported. Let's say that the largest car is Tesla Cybertruck, which is about 6 x 2 meters (25 x 8 inches), so the pallet will be about 6.5 x 2.5 meters to allow some extra margin to guide and protect the car. So, if these pallets line up like a train, a train with 24 pallets will be 156 meters long and can accommodate 36 people on average.
A typical subway train consists of 8 carriages, each of which is 2 meters long. Therefore, it is 16 meters long. Each car can carry up to 2 people, but for the sake of comfort, let's assume that they don't exceed 1 people. In this case, a train can carry 8 people.
So as far as people are concerned, a century-old subway beat boring companies and new technologies at a speed of 22 to 1. Let's look at energy efficiency. We don't know how the pallet of boring company behaves in friction. Will they install steel wheels on the rails? Or rubber wheels on concrete tracks? Even magnetic levitation technology? All we know is that electric motors are electric motors, and pallets and subways are using them. What really matters is weight, because weight determines the energy needed to accelerate an object.
the subway is not an easy thing. It must comply with very strict safety requirements. An empty car weighs about 3 tons, so a train with 8 cars will weigh 24 tons. Assuming that every 2 cars carry 1 people, the load of each person is about 3 kilograms.
The pallet of the drilling company must transport one passenger car each, so the weight to be considered is the pallet plus the weight of the car it transports. An ordinary car weighs about 1.5 tons, and if it is an electric car, it is more than 2 tons. The pallet, wheels, brakes, engine and all safety compliance will probably weigh at least 1 ton. Let's assume that the total is 3 tons. It can carry 1.5 passengers, which means that each person can carry 2 tons of passengers.
Therefore, as far as the number of people per load unit is concerned, the subway train that has been left behind for a hundred years beat the boring company's new technology by 7 to 1. I can go on, but I think you know what I mean. The company has not put forward a feasible alternative to the existing public transportation system, whether in terms of space occupation, capacity or cost. It is proposing a very expensive and inefficient system, which will enable some people who can pay the bill to travel in the tunnel without getting off the bus.
