this is brilliant holy shit

It's an above ground subway, essentially the same as this new bus. Think Simpsons monorail

oooh ok that sounds neat, how exactly are they built? do they just follow the roads? detroit has the people mover which is a pretty decent monorail but it goes mostly to entertainment things (the joe louis arena, greektown casino, etc) so it's not very efficient for people using it for work or anything like that especially with no connection to the metro areas. but w a decent level of stops in a decently designed city it sounds pretty feasible then 

i am aware i keep comparing everything to detroit but it's where i kno best so o well (poop emoji)

Essentially it's built along roads with stations every few kilometres or so, the system in Vancouver has some below ground sections as well.

the advantage of it over normal busses is obvious, have you ever driven behind a bus? it's awful. not every city can support a subway system, especially not states built on fuckin swamps like Michigan and maybe florida? they might have subways. idk. but like i said before there's still an issue where existing infrastructure just plain won't support it and cities than can't afford to radically alter their infrastructure (both for Detroit for example) so it doesn't really. solve very many problems i think

Florida only has buses for public transportation and even then it is rarely used.

I've never seen anyone at a bus stop that I'd feel comfortable being in the same room with, except the occasional lonely old lady.

buses are a big deal down in the florida keys, they're used often and actually run like clockwork

a monorail or this crazybus thing would be great to have in Key West, driving in this town fucking blows
