@DeprecatedCompatV2@graeghos_714 The assembly plants in Detroit look like train depots. That’s the most efficient way to move in materials and move out products. A multi-lane freeway is not necessary, a set of tracks can handle much higher volumes of goods and people.
Unfortunately most rails are owned by those moving freight and they have right of way on their rails over transit trains. Every auto factory has rails connecting it so it is feasible with a little change and many suppliers are near the factories so light rail and bus service could feed those locations.

How would the people get from the train station to their workplace? It’s not like it’s one square mile, it’s a huge area.
Trams, buses, bike lanes, localized rail. There are more options than just a car.
