    Each tunnel is less than half a mile long. So one tunnel will take you there and one will bring you back

    The system is just under 0.85 miles end to end (4,486 feet or so) with a stop in the middle.

    How fast is this supposed to go?

    Assuming the station is in the middle that's only 683.5m between them, and the whole thing is only about 1350m long.

    To get up to the high speeds they were talking about the acceleration would have to be pretty extreme. Not very comfortable for the passengers.
