Mass Transit Meets The Incredibles

Posted by michael on from the no-monorail-jokes-please dept.

Chuckstar writes "Salon.com has an article about SkyWeb Express, a futuristic-looking mass transit system similar to the monorail in the evil villain's secret lair in The Incredibles. What is unique about this system is that individual 3-passenger cars travel independently between stations, which are located on side-tracks so cars only need to stop at the final destination. Apparently, the system is relatively cheap to install, cost efficient per passenger mile, and much more flexible than traditional mass transit. The New York Post covered the topic last month."

    Never fear, there is always time to post when a new article pops up! So just plan on refreshing the front page every second for the next few hours and you should get a head start over everyone else except the few hundred people doing the same thing.
