> The city will have an underground passageway for deliveries and garbage collection.

This would be a great improvement over many cities, though definite drop in QOL for delivery and garbage truck drivers. Though I imagine having it underground makes it much easier to manage with autonomous vehicles.

Working as a regular delivery driver in sprawling futuristic underground tunnels sounds awesome, not going to lie. To each their own.

You make a good point. Away from the noise and traffic -- assuming quiet EVs which they would of course have to be. If it has nice lighting and ventilation.

I wouldn’t enjoy the lack of fresh air, but I think the lack or traffic and (perhaps?) not having to worry about where to park while sprinting to drop off a package in a narrow road would really reduce the stress of that job

Just watch out for the C.H.U.D.s! [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/C.H.U.D.]
