>>1717854>it's insanely loudHave you ever been on a metro that isn't Paris or Montreal? By metro standards it's extremely quiet.
>>1717876>What the fuck is the point?Faster acceleration, deceleration, smoother while doing so, quieter when running, and can do much steeper inclines then conventional. That last one was the entire reason, everything else is just a bonus, though it has the drawback of less reliability and longer downtime during maintenance so you need more trains in rotation for the same service, but anyone who thinks it isn't worth the cost is insane.
