New transit

Since Rutgers College Ave vision includes some

Eugene, Oregon is pursuing a carbon neutral existence with a very high-tech mass transit system that opens this weekend.

Here is a visualization that includes some nice video. The Anti-Planner thinks it will be a big failure.

It certainly sounds like it will quickly become antiquated when compared with other emerging ideas. The Germans are considering a driverless taxi-train. The idea is that the transportation will change to fit the needs of the individuals (or small groups) as opposed to people changing their schedule and travel destinations based on the transportation system.
