This interesting, but I reall don't like the idea of sitting in a kind of wheel chair AND traveling in a vehicle that's traveling up in the air from a wire...Nice environmental aspect though.

Namellak: You do not have to use a weel chair unless you are disabled, of course. On the other hand, if you are, this is a way fot you to still travel independently.

Have a look att the newer version, see Video Responses or search for tag "gts3"!

greblyksnah: I agree with you on the wheel chair, but it still don't like to be up in the air haning from a wire like that, since I have a problem with hights like some other people. I prefer to travel as close to the ground as possible and I've alread seen the newer version in Stockholm as I'm living in Sweden, but thanks all the same :)

Hanging in wires is just the same as an ordinary elevator. There could be cabins w/o windows. You step inside, wait until at the goal, then step out, and no bothering about at what level the transport was. Maybe a video to look at, showing the same distance in a crowded street instead ;-)

wouldn't we all get really fat with this transport system?

[boneimre]

Walking distances aren't any shorter than the ones nowadays with conventional cars (We're getting fatter anyway).

solves nothing!

I love this, the idea and the possibility of a city without cars, gardens will replace roads!! People who insist on having 4000 Sq. ft. of house can park at the edge of town and use this and leave there lincoln navigators behind. You still need roads for the delivery of goods, so smaller gardens!

Pretty dreamy

[MrJ00l]

imo it would work best in denmark since its small and would be pretty nice

[MercedesRenovatio]

have you watched "wall-e"???

[DocUnsane]

defeats the purpose of public transport....

[trainluvr]

we have no money for endless infrastructure. we do has lemo pledge

Nice! I had a similar idea, but it deals with GPS and RC operated vehicles. No need for fancy rails. One calls the transport unit with a cell phone like GPS device. it will know where you are going, etc, etc.

In the future, everyone is handicapped or sits on a wheelchair.
