Number of Vehicles Per Train . In an at-grade system, the maximum number of vehicles per train is usually three, due to the requirement that the train not block intersections when stopped at a red light or at a station. In a grade-separated setting, the maximum number of vehicles per train is determined by how long the station platforms are. In addition to the misleading capacity argument, the price comparison is also incorrect. Cheaper: $10 million per mile compared to $300m - $1 billion per mile of traditional subways. You're comparing the all-in/finished price including stations of subways with the cost of just tunnels in Loop. This is not correct.

Tokyo has a lot of train and subway lines, run by a lot of different companies and it can get confusing. For the most part, if you have a tap-to-pay card — see below — it’s really cheap (just a few hundred yen to go anywhere in central Tokyo) and it doesn’t matter what which company is running the line or whether it’s a subway or a train.

Tokyo has tons of "commuter" rail which are essentially de-facto "metro" or rapid transit (see the Yamanote line), or S-bahn like services. When you look at rail system vs rail system Tokyo has far more stations than NYC, and it's not even close. You are correct on the 24/7 though. But muh express service.

500m stop spacing is very large for buses and middling for metro. You generally want stops closer together in denser areas and further apart in less dense areas, and more frequent stops for buses and trams than for trains. For buses, I'd aim for 200-300m. For metro, I'd aim for 300m-1km. Most of your lines, especially rail, should be radial lines. aWv7dY.
