Of course! But, play the financial calculus game. If this project can be done for any total cost less than the train project, give any results better than the train project, have a downtime and accident rate less than the train project...then it MUST supersede the train project. Especially if it can be privately funded as a privately owned transportation system, which I would be 100% for, or a private company run via government contracts like SpaceX (and Tesla for that matter...).
