Also, I'm not sure why you're writing off some of the suggestions we've made as being "theoretical". None of the things we've stated are relegated to mere theory; they're well documented characteristics of urban railway construction that have been observed and demonstrated over a century and a half of metro system construction world wide and labelling them as such casts unwarranted doubt on their feasibility.

That very long underground platforms are much more expensive to build than shorter ones or that two shorter trains can carry as many people as one twice as long is in no way theoretical.
