Comment run them on bus routes (Score 1) 64

actually, running them on bus routes at bus prices might be a practical options.

Run a half dozen of these at five minute intervals rather than a bus every half hour and mass transit suddenly becomes more practical and attractive.

One key question is how many you can run for the cost of one bus.

The long intervals are a major factor in making bus travel practical in all but the densest cities in the US.

So is the inability to automatically electrocute disruptive morons, but that's for another topic.
