The roads are there. They ain't moving skyscrapers in major cities! For better or worse, American travel is very road-based, and we'll never have as many diverse options as some other countries...
Or just build trains. Which move tons of people, every day, for cheaper, safer, faster and overall more efficient ways. Don't have space for a train track? Make it a tram. Problem solved by changing up a road for cars into a road for cars and trains.
Or do what has been done for over a century now and just build the train line underground if there’s no room above. It’s more expensive, but in moderately dense cities that can still be worth it.
