I think I need to consider a mass transit system that is capable of that
load instead of making a road big enough for that load.

Mass transit even with rail seldom carries more than a half a lane of
traffic each way even under the best conditions.  Trains are often 15
minutes to more than an hour apart. and transit almost never attracts
enough people at once to be useful.  Transit is slow and too inflexible
to get most people to where they want to go.

Usually people do some really stupid assumptions like ever seat plus all
standing room is 100% filled all the time with no time separation between
vehicles.  The reality is that the continuous flow of a multi-lane road
usually has the highest actually used capacity.

Over the next decades, electronics in cars will allow the capacity of
roads to be at least doubled by controlling the cars to maximize road
capacity. There is no serious development for transit technology being
done that will increase it ability to carry more people in real
situation, not the fantasy world of transit advocates.

You may want to read the context in which the discussion is taking place

I did read the context and responded with what is normally achieved with
rail to put it in context of what is realistic.  You apparently want to
fabricate the usual lies if all reality was ignored.

that distance... wouldn't air travel be more convenient and probably
just as cost efficient as road OR rail?
