A tram/streetcar needs a dedicated lane to be impervious to slowdowns. If dedicated lanes are on the table you could just use any old bus.
The idea is to ride on existing (or slightly modified) roadway without taking lanes away from cars.
- vonmoltke 10y agoHow does this thing avoid traffic without dedicated lanes? It needs to touch the ground somewhere, and the article talks about installing guardrails and other measures to keep traffic from interfering with its movement.
- superuser2 10y agoThe parts that touch the ground aren't very wide, and can use something more like a gutter than a full lane.
