Guys, guys, hear me out. I have a crazy idea.

What if we use special cars only for the tunnel with some kind of ride sharing system? and then we put the cars on rails? This keeps them on track and also the rolling friction is much lower.

Also, we could continuously charge the battery of the car if we have some kind of wire going alongside the tunnel and a slip contact.

Actually we could make the cars much bigger as well, so they can hold more people.

Get me patent lawyer.




If you can figure out how to let people transport their vehicles through your tunnel without your car having to make scheduled stops, or follow a single path then you've got a business.


If you want to transport your car somewhere there are already lots of business that exist, but I guess I could try to make another one.


Okay, I see your point.


amazing idea, i suggest we also reduce the size of the battery as it won't really be needed unless there is a power failure.


It looks like you've just invented the underground...


I read it as being sarcastic. I expect that OP knew this :-)
