About the trains: A possible solution is to make small autonomously driven capsules. Scenario: You enter a station, take a capsule (4 to 6 peoples max let say, in a capsule) which departs each minute or so once there is one passenger aboard. Assign the few destinations, and have the capsule taking the express way (like the bus ... of a computer) and drop the passenger(s) exactly where they are expected. No need to stop to each and every intermediate stations. Note that getting in or out a station is in a "parallel" path to the "bus" and thus, does not "jam" the high speed capsules on the said buss. Add yes, there is no need to visit each intermediate station to "take waiting passengers", these passengers in waiting ... just take their own capsule, as they walk in the station. And voila, high speed trains, or capsules, not needing a driver per capsule since they are autonomously driven with the appropriate electronic.

I don't think you understand the scale of people here. 9 billion. That's more people than alive today. Let's just take half the current pop, 4 billion, and put them all on one freeway at the same time. These capsules, if there's only 4 people each, that's 1 billion capsules. No matter how you work it, it's not workable.

Thing is, the video mentions the potential fudge factor of turning it into a circle(which sounds like the dumbest idea as that is already basically just a city - except with a wall!) But surely ditching the full circle potential fudge factor, and instead combining that with the line idea itself so that you have tram lines built atop eachother in the hollow middle -best of both worlds! That way there is a better organisation of the projected 86 stations required 🤔

I remember when the Fyre festival came out and a shit load of advertisement blitz came out on facebook and social media. This was before it all went tits up but the advertisement with the models and the footage was amazing and grabbed your attention. Ultimately it came to nothing. I feel that this project in Saudi is going the same way but with money and funds Fyre only wish they had. The amount of steel needed to create even the scaled down version will keep a lot of steel mills in peak production for several years on that one project alone. Forget about any other construction or back orders around the world. The amount of floor space taken up by the elevators alone will be utterly impractical. Even those two challenges feels like this will ultimately not get built. Good luck if they can but they've bit of more then can chew on this project.

the issue is multifaceted, but it seems at the core it's simply a pipedream meets reality. I like the concept but for a revolutionary city to really work, you need more civil engineers than fantastical architects, and this is what happens when you don't do that. A futuristic city would be like the concept of if you could remodel New York city from scratch, to optimize everything into the most harmoniously functional city, rectifying all its many mistakes and short comings over the many decades, fixing all its infrastructural flaws, all those faults that are too expensive to fix so they find workaround methods instead of permanent solutions, or cheaper options because they couldn't afford the better ones... so if you could hypothetically redo it all, and had an infinite money glitch to make it better than what it is, what would it be, what would it look like, what kind of metropolis would it become? well that's what a futuristic city ought to be. That, is not what's the line, the line is an impractical fantasy built on dreams and too much money blinding the rich from the practical... and now they're realizing how foolish it was.
