Country folk tend to like the independence offered by their cars, so how do you get them to use public transit? The Monocab system may be the answer, as it utilizes individual on-demand pods that travel on existing abandoned railways.

Looks like they could totally fit a bike rack on these things too!

      Someone is suggesting pods. “Sensible” was never part of the proposal. Every time pods are suggested, modifications that would make them sensible just turn them into trains/trams.

        Yes, it’s regrettable to see public money is wasted on this kind of projects instead of being spent to really improve the public transport infrastructure. Although, in Germany, it really isn’t bad. But still.
