All i see is a giant prison

On the plus side, they could turn it into an abandoned site for those weirdos who like to explore abandoned places

with continuous 1G acceleration / 1G negative acceleration between 82 stops, and an optimistically short 15 seconds motionless per stop, it should take 2.4 hours to traverse the full 170km line.

This is what happens when those greedy investors trust incompetent people which just happens to have a ton of money & absolute power over a country.

I’d love to see the floorplans and elevations for this project along with all the plumbing and electrical plans and air-conditioning and saltwater desalinization

The line will revolutionize making any two parts of the city as far apart as possible! How are we going to get to our sci-fi dystopian future without building things like this?

When your concept cannot survive napkin math, it's doomed.

A high class version of 20 minute cities - it won't take off except for a tourist destination

Thing is, the video mentions the potential fudge factor of turning it into a circle(which sounds like the dumbest idea as that is already basically just a city - except with a wall!) But surely ditching the full circle potential fudge factor, and instead combining that with the line idea itself so that you have tram lines built atop eachother in the hollow middle -best of both worlds! That way there is a better organisation of the projected 86 stations required 🤔

How gullible are these people to believe this sales pitch? When they said the travel time was 20 minutes, my very first thought was what about all the stops? You don’t need to be a rocket scientist, you just need to have common sense.

Great video.

More people packed, closely tight together means higher chance and risk of spreading diseases.

I remember when the Fyre festival came out and a shit load of advertisement blitz came out on facebook and social media. This was before it all went tits up but the advertisement with the models and the footage was amazing and grabbed your attention. Ultimately it came to nothing. I feel that this project in Saudi is going the same way but with money and funds Fyre only wish they had. The amount of steel needed to create even the scaled down version will keep a lot of steel mills in peak production for several years on that one project alone. Forget about any other construction or back orders around the world. The amount of floor space taken up by the elevators alone will be utterly impractical. Even those two challenges feels like this will ultimately not get built. Good luck if they can but they've bit of more then can chew on this project.

I thought they said they proposed 9 million people.

At this point, it's easier to live on a moving train

I shall keep my eyes on the line.

It's not working because it';s a stupid techbro fantasy project.

Nimrod Syndrome. Human being trying to pack and cement people in one place….

Who would or could live in such an environment? Ahh, someone from Portland or Seattle. Not that personal space would be a problem and what if you wanted out? SOL

Why didn't they make it modular. Build 100m long blocks at a time

So we won, aliens won't come here for adaptive period??? No man would ever like to live in a city like this. All I can think about it is build in a place difficult to reach, with huge mirror fences and few exits, one to the abyss. It is a safe place for unnoticed incognito arrival and adaptation of extraterrestrial humanoids, I guess. The upper space opening maybe probably well controlled for climatic, light and pressure, humidity adjustments, so they would have time to get used to Earths climate. Weird. My guesses. What do You think?

I dont think The Saudi prince is a engineer or a construction developer soooo... ya good luck bro lol

Greenwashing. Sustainable concepts used in an unsustainable way that does not consider its enviro impact. Sustainable development has 3 fundamental principles - enviro sensitivity - economic soundness - social justice So far this project is failing on all 3 principles!

the issue is multifaceted, but it seems at the core it's simply a pipedream meets reality. I like the concept but for a revolutionary city to really work, you need more civil engineers than fantastical architects, and this is what happens when you don't do that. A futuristic city would be like the concept of if you could remodel New York city from scratch, to optimize everything into the most harmoniously functional city, rectifying all its many mistakes and short comings over the many decades, fixing all its infrastructural flaws, all those faults that are too expensive to fix so they find workaround methods instead of permanent solutions, or cheaper options because they couldn't afford the better ones... so if you could hypothetically redo it all, and had an infinite money glitch to make it better than what it is, what would it be, what would it look like, what kind of metropolis would it become? well that's what a futuristic city ought to be. That, is not what's the line, the line is an impractical fantasy built on dreams and too much money blinding the rich from the practical... and now they're realizing how foolish it was.

it's such a stupid idea. it was always about getting attention and nothing more.

MBS's plans for THE LINE, KHASHOGGI and YEMEN have one thing in common; they all resulted in victims and they were all a major bust.

😱 fear scare afraid panic fright creepy

All the calculations for the figures in the brochure must have been done on the back of a beer mat 🎉

people has no creativy and engineering skill talk about engineering.

lol

Why do we need to live in a line leaving the vast God created beautiful world?

I hope it fails, the insanity project of building the worlds biggest jail...

How are the fake island projects doing? 🤣🤣🤣🤣

The Lie

This video id Paid propaganda. They'll get it done. Then everyone will make vids showing the line. Trust me.

You would think you would start with a smaller scale to see if would work.

JUST FOR SAUDIS. 😅
