We need to allow the light rail to operate every day of the week. The light rail should be treated like a Shabbat elevator that stops at every station.
-- Mayor of Tel Aviv Ron Huldai, seemingly making a push to have the new light rail system operate on Shabbos as well
it is a cute comparison and maybe such a system could be made to work, but it does not just get "treated like a Shabbat elevator". It would need to be operating on automatic with many other details taken care of (such as payment and other mechanical and electrical issues) for it to be similar to a Shabbat elevator.
