I have questions, but I’m assuming this electric transport would be very quiet, which is a major problem with anyone living near truck-packed I35 now.
And think how much safer without 18-wheelers hogging the road.
Very. They run on rubber tires on the rail instead of metal to metal. The electric motors are very quiet as well even when they’re accelerating but especially when they’re cruising.
I hate to bring up the Disney monorail, but if you’ve ever been around one of those, that’s about the upper limit for the noise level. Another example would be the Dallas or Houston light rail systems - only they’re louder because they are metal to metal drive. Powertrain noise (the hum) should be about the same.
