foyrkopp , 4 months ago Depending on your definition, this actually is not peak performance. Subways are. Obviously, the tunnels are absurdly expensive, but nothing moves as many people as quickly around a city as a subway. They're also extremely reliable, meaning people are even more likely to actually use them, and their above-ground footprint is essentially zero.

grue , 4 months ago Subways are for mobility (moving large numbers of people rapidly); trams are for access (getting you close to your destination). They complement each other and a well-designed city would have both.
