The Singapore line is designed to handle 1 million daily riders. It is in not comparable to the rinky-dink Muni project.
- Grimburger 4y agoIt's also automated driverless trains, something that probably be raised when comparing costs.
- refurb 4y agoMUNI handles 157,000 daily riders. The TEL line is expected to hit 500,00 in some years, maxing out at 1M in the distant future. It's not that big of a difference.
- rippercushions 4y agoThis is one line in a subway network of many, handling 3x more people than the entire MUNI network from opening day (of the full line). The Singapore MRT as a whole already has a daily ridership of 3,400,000.
- refurb 4y agoSure capacity is higher but the comparison is like 2-3x not an order of magnitude.
- Drunk_Engineer 4y agoPre-COVID projection for SF Central Subway is 43,700 daily trips by 2030, and maxing out at 65,000. So yes, order of magnitude difference in capacity. https://www.wsp.com/en-US/projects/san-francisco-central-subway https://www.wsp.com/en-US/projects/san-francisco-central-sub...
