I imagine it’s still orders of magnitudes better than everyone driving their own car in.

Same with busses. Don’t let perfect be the enemy of the good

Technically, a subway would be easier to build a microplastic containment solution than applying the same to endless miles of roadway. Using metal wheels is probably still the better option though

subways are only economical in big cities though.

No one is building a subway in my town, would be waaaaay to expensive. they couldnt even keep a tram system going

I was agreeing with your sentiment that rubber subway tires are still magnitudes better than cars, realistically, buses are probably less microplastics per person moved as well if the route has decent ridership.
