Vegas now has 5 stations and is 2.2 miles. Can you realistically compare it to a billion dollar a mile sub at line that would take a decade to build (or more)?

30k a day is a nearly a million a month and costs are low by comparison (no expensive subway cars etc).



This is nothing compared to Tokyo Metro, or even the New York subway. Stop comparing failures to other failures like they are successes.


You are comparing the Vegas loop to a tunnel in Tokyo the biggest metro on earth.

That's like saying a car is slow because it's not a spaceship.


Can you cite that Tokyo is the biggest metro?


When I say metro I'm talking about metropolitan area not the subway.

Tokyo has 37 million people so it's comical to compare it las vegas which has less than 700k.
