I can't believe they actually built this. Am I completely crazy or is it much easier to juse use a rail system? They've already been forced to build rails into the road so it's not a bus per say. it's a rail-based vehicle that allows cars to pass through it.
- lucaspiller 10y agoThis doesn't need a dedicated space like a railway, and won't be delayed by traffic like a tramway. Of course those would be easier, but what's the problem with innovating?
- vonmoltke 10y ago> This doesn't need a dedicated space like a railway, and won't be delayed by traffic like a tramway Those are fundamentally incompatible. Either it does have dedicated space (which the article certainly indicates it does, both elevated platforms and travel paths) or it will be delayed by traffic. You can't have both.
- lucaspiller 10y agoWell this does :D It goes over traffic, and as mentioned elsewhere, the height of vehicles is limited on these parts of the road, so it won't get stuck behind a tall lorry.
- vonmoltke 10y agoYou are missing the point. It needs to touch the ground somewhere. That somewhere is either a dedicated right-of-way or subject to traffic blockage.
- meggar 10y agoIt would also be easier to build a ramp that could be mounted on top of an existing bus, so the cars can drive over the bus.
