Idk i'm not a transport expert but as soon as you start having to add turns to an LRT they become less economical. Go to any city with a robust public transport network and see how different it is when you hit the straightaways in the downtown area usually they stop asking for tickets because it's quick stops BOOM BOOM BOOM you move with traffic the throughput is higher and you have to transfer to trains going out of that straight line of quick stops. If you built an entire city to be moved that like I could see it maybe working

So the "first phase" is supposed to cost USD $320 billion and will house 300,000 people.
If you have a calculator that can deal with enough zeros, you will find out that is a cool $1,066,666.66 per resident.
So basically a million dollars per resident. A family of 4 would be $4 million.
That's pricy for a place to live, even by modern real estate standards. If you wanted to charge a family of 4 rent at 7% of construction cost, that'd be $280,000 per year, or around $23,000 per month.
