    An embarrassing monument to the American consumer, atomized in a fish tube. It is so impractical that a person would need to be deeply indoctrinated in capitalist realist thought not to understand it. and yet people go for this shit. This is the pablum they give us, and call it progress.

      You could get a train designed for toddlers to ride around an amusement park and it would be a better solution. Just so much PURE IDEOLOGY in this lol.

        yeah, the typical airport people-mover blows this out of the water. completely automated, accessible, and with a higher throughput.

          Airport people movers are completely unironically the best transit in the United States. Super frequent, free, and automated, with platform screen doors.

      It is quite practical as long as very few people use it. That, of course, defeats the entire stated purpose of it being a mass transit system. IMO, this will get more and more expensive and will only be available to the rich, significantly decreasing the number of customers, making it more practical.
