    Maybe reduce the highway from 12 to 8 lanes and build a train line in the middle that can “charge” moving trains.

      And how would this magic train transport me to the Walmart parking lot? Does it also drive to my flat? No, I don’t think so. /s

      Idk about the middle unless they can make it more convenient than Chicago’s passenger rail system. Sometimes you’ve gotta do this ridiculously long detour to cross the pedestrian bridge because they put transit stops in the middle of the highway. Like sorry but a highway is not a destination.

      In the US, trains are generally used for freight transport, not passenger transport.
