Presumably whether this system is privately or publicly operated, there would be a major toll associated with its use. So the ask isn't just "drive into a tunnel", it's "drive into a tunnel and pay $$$", compared with a new subway line integrated with the existing mass transit system (trains and buses) and under the same fare.

I suppose you could let people buy monthly tickets the same way they do for public transit, and handle the rest the same way automated ticketing of speeding is handled.
