Looking forward to the Adam Something video about this.

I immediately thought about connecting multiple of these together to make a train haha

Connect them together for efficiency, and maybe use both rails for stability and to reduce design conplexity. (you dont even need any additional infrastructure!) Also, have them arrive regularly, so that users don't need to bother with an app! Brilliant!

Seriously though, it's really amazing how people keep inventing trains but worse. I guess this idea makes some sense if there aren't enough riders for regular train service, but still...

Ahah, I just told myself: cannot wait for Adam Something to debunk this
