What is the capacity of the Vegas loop as compared to, say, an extra small subway or even an aboveground streetcar?

    It's definitely less than that. The advantages will be when you're able to get in a vehicle and input your destination and it can go straight there without a single other stop. In theory at least. I'm not saying it's genius but it's an interesting concept and I'm curious to see if it works when scaled.

    Given the short distance it goes and the fact that it has human drivers currently...I'm doubtful it's going to scale at all. In its current iteration, a small train would have been better in just about every way. I wouldn't praise it for what it will be, praise it for what it is, because Elon Musk loves to promise the moon and stars and not deliver on those promises.
