This would be sorta cool, if I'd never seen a single bit of sci-fi, and/or didn't know how fucking terrible people can be. If people were perfect, they could make almost any system work. If they're not, any system with a big point of failure, or point for potential tyrannical control or massive inequality is a system that's going to fucking suck. This looks like slavery, starvation, and destitution waiting to happen. I mean, if it weren't complete fiction to begin with, of course.
Decentralization will almost always beat centralization.
Also, end-to-end in twenty minutes? So you're packing the world's third fastest trains into the most densely populated...well, anything, in human history, or something? You'd have to do a bunch of them, too, if you expect anything but massive waiting lines to even start a journey.
No, if this were real, you'd either have people confined to their own "unique communities," likely suffering greatly, or you'd have the occasional and probably extremely deadly high speed train/whatever derailment.
This whole thing is absolutely fucking retarded.
