I'm trying to think of a way to make it worse and more inefficient (without going full troll with a non-good-faith attempt). Like, using one-person vehicles maybe. Gasoline-powered Segways that you have to steer yourself but can't leave the system

At first I thought it was the video where they'd got Alexa to fart and whisper for them and wired it through the trout but it's just this.

Been reading science fiction since I was 10 years old and this whole underground car transport thing is so dumb it's not even scifi. Just...idiotic and unworkable. Cities don't stop under surface level; there are building supports/parking garages/sewers/other infrastructure below ground that would make any sort of road system with multiple exits impossible.
Toronto's spent decades just trying to figure out how to add 1 subway line downtown because there are so many obstructions preventing it from being dug.

Holy poo poo this is so incredibly dumb. I thought these stupid contraptions were at least supposed to help Americans with their fear of strangers but they're gonna be closer to them than on a bus.

Worse than a bus, way worse than a train and frankly worse than walking for anyone other than Americans cuz I guess the street is where you get shot at?

Closer, and with more of an implied need for small talk. Like if there are a bunch of people on an elevator, you're all quiet. You and one other person? Awkward small talk.

No sir, I don't care for this Hyperloop one bit.

You can either invest in society to improve health, education and the justice system.

Or you can pay a poo poo ton more to hide into tunnels because you're a strong independent free mole people American.

And then you die trapped in a Tesla fire. That's the whole dream.

Yeah, there's a million better options but I also thought of that, as that's what you'll see in like airports. Because I'm bored I decided to check it out.

You can get a quote for a walkway on alibaba but I found an article from 10 years ago from some Spanish village which paid 3.7 million Euro for 150m of walkway as this would be a more realistic cost including all construction: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2012-07-05/filling-a-city-with-moving-walkways-is-this-a-good-idea

The tunnel is almost exactly 10 times longer (which is kind of long for a walkway tbh) so that would be 37 million or about the same 50 for the dumbass tunnel. Except of course you wouldn't need to buy dozens of car and pay drivers to drive them in circles.
