I am getting so unbelievably tired of this smug comment. It reeks of reddit spam.

We all know trains would be nice. Unless you have some plan to rework our government into something that will allow for innovation here, then I prefer to see progress, even if it's not ideal.

It's a dumb comment. But I find it interesting in how it reveals opportunities to leverage bridging expertise.

The infamous Dropbox comment [1] illustrated the complete lack of domain knowledge in marketing, sales and generally how non-tech people work that was commonplace among coders. A lot of people made a lot of money, and made a lot of other peoples' lives better, but bridging that gap.

This bus meme, on the other hand, illustrates a complete lack of domain knowledge around marketing and, in all likelihood, how governments and public transit work in the real world.

		Strip and Las Vegas from pure numbers POV are perfect for trains. However, it's also a place where you want to be in your private space with your friends rather than 20 other strangers, just for the sake of vibes. However, before that problem is solved, maybe solve mass-transit from the airport to the strip first?

I don't think the idea was trains at all. I think the idea was, if we're going to have N of them driving down The Strip, it would be more efficient to join them physically together than to have them maintain normal inter-car spacing.

And that could work, if the car in front can communicate power/brake/turn commands to the cars in the chain. And if you could dynamically drop cars out of the middle when needed. And if you could dynamically add cars when they're neighboring and going the same way. All those could be tricky, but they seem quite solvable.
