The thing is that two more lanes will fix a lot of traffic.

They have to be a special kind of lane though, made put of metal, with metal above, and require a special car, with metal wheels and a weird antenna on the roof

Yeah, though my experiences with rail cars are more of the Volvo PV801 kind....

That is a narrow gauge railroad at 891mm, it used to be part of the Roslagsbanan network, but it got cut down and this part is a herritage railroad.

A decent part of Roslagsbanan is still active with commuter traffic
