    I don’t know what city this post is referencing, but I’d be willing to bet a ton of money it’s not in the US lol.

      It’s Montreal, so you are indeed correct. Honolulu did actually open the first segment of a very similar automated light metro system just 2 weeks ago, although it doesn’t have the same service frequency as ours. It’s still enough to make it America’s newest metro system, though!

    Yeah trains are a massive civil engineering project. You have to commission a bunch of studies of everything from archaeology to soil and water to route efficiency, go through several levels of engineering designs, obtain a lot of connected land, then you have to build the thing including preparing the land to not settle too much under the weight of a train because soil is a particulate fluid. And every step of the way everyone is mad it’s taking so long and costing so much.
