People will gladly share a metal tube if it's substantially faster or substantially cheaper than not.

- ghaff 5y agoAssuming the metal tube runs on a moderately convenient schedule between convenient locations and that they'll not transporting things that they can't conveniently take on the metal tube. I was just reminded of this last week. I was going into the city about an hour away for a class but after thinking about it, I'd still have needed to drive to the train station and park, the train schedule was suboptimal, and I'd have had to carry some things associated with the class around with me all day. I do sometimes take the train in but although it's sometimes convenient, it's not a panacea (and doesn't work at all for going in for an evening event). It's also not cheap.
