The throughput of "car directly after car" is about 10 times lower than that of a railway with a frequency of 90 seconds.

How about bus pods directly after bus pods? It'd be comparable or even higher (20 passengers/pod).

Yes, but it's a train that also carries cars. And quite possibly freight.

Those aren't new either, but not common for urban transportation.
