They are doing 30k passengers a day, not just for the novelty. A bus line will do between 5k and 20k passengers a day, and that is with many, expensive busses that have to wait in traffic.
The loop has basically no traffic, and carries a lot of customers and costs a small fraction of what a subway does. A subway mile can cost a billion per mile. This cost 50 million for 1.7 miles.
It's a huge win for people who don't want to walk that distance and for the city streets have which have less traffic.
The math ain't mathing. If they are doing 20 rides per hour per segment, assuming 100% load factor and 24 hour service, which it isn't, that's 480 rides per day, per segment. In reality, probably half that or less.
If there were five separate segments, with the above parameters, that would be 2500 rides per day. Let's further assume two passengers per ride that's 5000 passengers, maxed out all day and all night.
Is there a Vegas betting book on this? What's the over under?
Yeah, it only works if you have cookies enabled(works with js disabled). You could use containers or CookieAutoDelete if you use firefox to auto delete cookies later. Or just configure the browser to be on incognito mode always with only third-party cookies disabled.
Itunes can also sync over Wifi[1] or You can use Nextcloud[2]. You can backup your photos to your PC/Mac and then upload them to a cloud service. I use duplicati[3], it automatically encrypts and compress your files and uploads them to the cloud service of your choosing. I use Backblaze B2 for the cloud service($0.005/GB)[4].
