I've seen studies that say that steel-wheel on steel-rail can already accelerate and decelerate at greater rates than comfort can stand, especially for standing passengers. I would expect the rolling resistance of rubber tires to increase heat and lower fuel efficiency.Montreal adopted rubber tires because of Francophilia. Don't know about Mexico City. |
