Cross-town mass transit would be easier without having to manuver around cars and taxis. It would be cleaner, quieter, and easier on the environment.
Delivery from store to home would cost less. Could even create a system of unmanned secure transport system non-stop from store to destination. Trash pick-up can be designed to take away trash and recycables all day long. Free-up the streets and use them more efficiently.
