We can forbid the space taking, accidents causing, noisy, polluting cars above the ground. So above ground will be reserved for bikes, walking, light rail and trams and small shops in the middle of the street. Why do we put the low efficiency cars that take a lot of space above ground while public transport underground, it should the other way around. This also allows cars into a controlled environment, that can implement self-drive safely. It's a win on all side.

i saw a video by Common Sense Skeptic (title: DEBUNKING THE VEGAS LOOP), and he brings a good point. The walls are so tight, you might not be able to open the doors while in the tunnel. If the car catches fire, as it happens sometimes, you are trapped inside the car, and even if by a miracle fire doesn't kill you, the smoke will certainly do the job. Basically, they threw all safety regulations out of the window when making this tunnel. It's not a matter of if a disaster will happen, but when.

Naive question: why cars and not buses? Buses can take more passengers, and can go outside, connecting the subway system to the above-ground transportation system. You can even add cars if you want, if stations are large enough so that a car can go through the station while a bus is stopped.
