That would be an excellent system...does it exist anywhere? Certainly the huge majority, if not all, mass transit systems have not been "done right" by your criteria. I hope Fluffy corrects me if I'm wrong, but I think you're illustrating his point...the theoretical ideal model does not really match reality. Certainly he was criticizing existing mass transport systems.

Although there is a lot of overlap, I find the permaculture approach much more sensible than the "organic" approach.
