Why is it pure idiocy?
Just think about it. Making a city that is a line in the middle of the desert.
There is a reason why cities have a certain shape. If you want to reduce the time taken to travel from one point to another the most suitable shape is something approximating a circle.

I wonder how that compares to the origninal Stryker/Lav, the Swiss Pirhanna.
The decision to create a city in the form of a line, especially in a desert environment, might be driven by specific environmental, logistical, or strategic considerations. Linear cities, for instance, can be designed to align with natural features, optimize resource usage, or cater to specific industries. Additionally, cultural and historical factors, as well as the need for adaptability, can shape urban planning decisions.
Innovation in city planning often involves experimenting with unconventional designs to address unique challenges or achieve specific goals.
Except in this case there is nothing like that. This isn't an ocean or riverside property where you build next to it. Nor does the line connect any other two important cities or whatever. It is just being done for aesthetics.
Like I said, it won't be energetically efficient neither for transport, nor for services, nor for a bunch of other reasons.

Well, if 100,000 is one too many, send 99,999.
They more or less said why they are making it into a line.
But how does emergency services work? Do 2 people just put you on a stretcher and wait on the train station for the next transport
That brings up another problem which is the end to end transit in 20 minutes. The technology for the hyper-rail line and the green power doesn’t exist even in their prototype form yet.
Not gonna lie, this might be a great deal. India will at least deliver, and likely at reduced cost. I don't think Indian Stryker will be a problem for China but it will help US a lot from cost overrun.
