There was a young man who said, "Damn!
It is borne upon me that I am
An engine that moves
In predestinate grooves;
I'm not even a bus, I'm a tram."

That's a bim!
I don't think people are actually asking that. It's more like companies are trying to promote interest so they can get those sweet grants.
Me a guy in infrastructure: hahahahaha... oh wait you were serious. Let me laugh even harder now.
Engineering is to a great extent accepting the givens. Cost disease grows more rampant by the year without showing any signs of letting up. There are ways to fix that but we aren't going to do them. The reason why people are considering solutions like this is because better solutions aren't possible any more.
Subway or aerotrains are great tram just added more mess into the traffic and are dangerous for pedestrians.
