The town I live in is too small for an U-Bahn. Nevertheless it's obvious to anyone paying attention that on-street parking, commuting, and delivery are creating impediments to our happiness and well being.
I have often wondered what a delivery U-Bahn might look like... something that was devoted entirely on deliveries of materials and packages.
Anything to get more of the cars and trucks off the streets and devote more space in the city to people.
