For me to use mass transit it’s going to have to be faster than driving, cheaper than driving, and more convenient than driving. I think I have a plan to make a system that’s all three of those things. We’ll build a light-duty overhead monorail style track system that special light electric cars hook to from ground level and there will be entrance and exit points all over town. You just drive down Glenstone until you get to the Barataria entrance point, merge into the entrance lane, and seamlessly hook onto the system, and the motorized hook on the top of your car powers you down the track at 60mph. Each entrance only has one exit, and the Barataria entrance exits on Chestnut near Drury. It’s like teleportation portals.

The cars would be inexpensive and electric, designed for cross-town trips, and very small.

I don't know why I get downvoted for this idea. I think it's at least as feasible as an in-town rail system, and has all of the benefits of cars without the drawbacks. Just because nobody has ever done it doesn't mean we can't be the first.

Again, downvotes without any comments. Is the downvote button just a disagree button?
