I don't think putting at grade trains on freeways is a good idea, unless they had a reliable way of warning people minutes before a train comes through

Chicago has a system like this. The main problem is the stations in the literal middle of the highway.

Crazy idea, put the stations at the overpasses. Not all of them, obviously, but you can then make covered walk ways, and hopefully have enough land to put parking decks if needed.

You know it might be cool to have an overpass specific for it. Like halfway between to existing ones. Still in the middle of a highway.

Yeah that way everyone has to walk a quarter mile in front of traffic that just got off the high speed highway with NO SHADE!!!
