    You’re making a good point. However, isn’t apples to apples comparison.

    Trains are better but not by the way you visualize it.

      Overlay London with roads wide enough to carry as much capacity as the tube lines underneath (and somewhere to put those cars) and see if there’s any space left?

          I was going to make a joke, but that’s awful. It’s absurd. It’s like when you’re struggling in Cities Skylines and order the biggest possible highway to attend some small junction, no matter what gets destroyed in the process. Where do those 14 lanes of highway go when they reach the city centre? Is there a kilometer-deep parking garage, or a literal black hole?
