Super buses that will glide over traffic...

[Playinghardball]

Do you think this is a good idea?

[KittyWampus]

1. 1st I thought- it would freak me out to have one of those swosh over my head

while I was driving.

But THEN I realized that we will soon be driving cars that drive themselves and I'll be busy watching the latest episode of Vikings on my Google Glasses.

2. It's certainly a funny idea

A monorail seems a lot simpler, though.

Love to see what happens when that thing in the picture goes around a corner.

[Aristus]

3. Or when someone being driven over changes lanes suddenly.

n/t.

[davidpdx]

14. That's what I was thinking

Someone changing lanes would put a pretty big dent in the side of that thing

[immoderate]

4. Until they get to an overpass.

5. Maybe, but progress like that wont be coming to USA

not anymore...we are 3rd world now...not only will you not have new systems of transportation like this but the transportation you have now will break down and you will replace it only to the extent that the oligarchs need you to so that you can get to your 12 hr a day, $2 an hour job

6. Don't try to pass a semi truck

[Blue Owl]

7. Yeah sure... until someone merges, enters, or exits which rarely occurs

[JVS]

8. no

[sakabatou]

9. How will they do right/left turns?

Or go under bridges, power lines and trees?

[Kaleva]

10. Appears one has to bring your own ladder to get on and off the bus

[jberryhill]

11. Lol

Maybe a rope ladder drops from the doors.

[madokie]

12. or at the same time they develop this they develop

teleporting or what ever dr spock and company did.
Sorry I never watched any starwars movies or any of the startrek shows and its apparent I'm sure.

[Kaleva]

13. Another option would be to have trampolines at all the bus stops!

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

18. Probably a raised platform.

[Kaleva]

19. rope ladders and pole vault poles are funnier though.

[davidpdx]

15. nah

You just go up to the door and the arm pushes you out. It isn't great for repeat business though.

[Kaleva]

16. This guy is getting off at the next bus stop.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

17. I've seen that before

Several years ago in fact. Is their actually a manufacturer that builds these? There are a lot of drawings of things that are just concepts.

20. There's always a bigger fish (nt)
