      They have significantly higher throughput than a car lane of the same size. That’s the comparison that really matters.

      Subways and trams fill different niches. That’s kind of a core point of this. Trams compete with cars for space at street level, while subways do not.

        What? Subways definitely compete with cars.

        Surface roads should all just be converted to pedestrian paths or bicycle-only roads

        I see no need for trams

          Please read full sentences before responding.

          Also watch the not just bikes video we were discussing. It explains all of this pretty well.
