Which makes it ironic that planes can get a higher throughput than trains. Despite thier higher speeds, planes can be landed as close as one minute appart. High-speed trains must often stay several minutes appart. Thats the advantage of having access to two/three dimensions of movement over a train's one.
- imtringued 4y agoYou completely ignored the cargo capacity or number of passengers.
- sandworm101 4y agoRun the math. 400+ people/minute for a runway is actually much higher than any rail line.
- _Tev 4y agoSubway is kind of a rail line and Prague line C subway has sub 2min intervals in peak, with each train having capacity of 1000 passengers. So 500+people/min. EDIT: official number is 448 passengers / minute - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line_C_(Prague_Metro) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line_C_(Prague_Metro) That's an extreme case of rail line, but "much higher than any rail line" is kind of extreme phrasing too :)
