TIL that money really is the only source of truth. Like bruh, that's just a complete nonsequestor.

Great, let's ravage the plan to have proper public transportation and turn it into glorified toll road.

So all box.sol really cares about is if it is profitable.

Not that it actually functions well.

It's not even that profitable, assuming the data is correct.

Cities with similar size in other countries can make hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars instead with massive public transports.

How does the Hyperloop work anyway? How they manage to avoid accidents. Are they put into rails like trains? Aside from the requirement of having a car to use one.

You can call it inefficient if you must, but tunnels are also homes for countless people on the streets, included most big cities of the USA. . . . Yeah, that doesn't feel funny, but It also feels inadequate to put an /s.
