That's why I said buses. This issue has been studied many many times. The dirty secret is that dedicated 'bus only' lanes, with lots of full buses using them, move more people across a point per minute than most any other ground option.

100 people per (large) bus at 10 busses per minute = 1000 persons per minute. That rivals a runway full of a380s for shear people-moving power.

How long does it take to get 100 people in a bus?

China is building driverless low-medium speed maglevs:

I’d like to see one of your studies to see the assumptions.

60 mph buses don’t really seem like a great way to travel.

China carried 10 billion people by high-speed rail last year.
