COMPARATIVE PASSENGER CAPACITIES OF MAJOR TRANSIT AND TRAFFIC IMPROVEMENTS

One express-local subway will carry 100,000 passengers per hour in one direction on two tracks. Twenty-one four-lane elevated highways would be required to carry the same load in autonnobiles.

It everyone came to work by private automobile, each office building would need a garage of the same size for the storage of vehicles.
