>At a 2 seconds clearance between vehicles, the Tesla system at peak capacity of 4 passengers will move 2 people per second. So it's equivalent with a subway train at crush capacity running every 1000 seconds or 16 minutes. That kind of frequency is typical for some longer haul train links, airport trains with underground sections like the RER etc.
Typical where? Any well functioning subway system I’ve been on has a much higher frequency than that. Every 3-5 minutes.
- cornholio 2y ago" ...typical for some longer haul train links, airport trains with underground sections like the RER etc." I am certainly aware of the frequency most subways run at, that's why I clearly defined a comparable system, and later in the post underlined that Loop is not a direct competitor with subways but with above ground light rail. I have no idea why people get triggered so easily and jump to type out a response without finishing reading the post - or, in this case, the sentence - they are replying to. It must have something to do with the compressed attention spans that come with smartphones.
