This technology has been around for a while. A prototype was tried, IIRC, in Michigan. More than a trivial amount of snow and it can't "see" its "track."It's just an articulated bus with a guidance system. |

Get thee to Buschat.It's more of a train than an articulated bus. An articulated bus has two coaches joined by an articulated joint. This "Track Less Train" has three cars making it a train. And the coaches closely resemble a LRV more than a bus. Obviously, this "train" must have been the answer where an articulated bus didn't have the passenger capacity that this has. Bill Newkirk |

Perhaps the technology was just too young, but this type of system will truly become viable with Smart Technology being integrated in all vehicles and the cities can truly program such "trams" to have priority in traffic and with better sensors truly be the future of urban transit. |

It's more of a train than an articulated busNope. No track means bus. And the coaches closely resemble a LRV more than a bus And the GM and Mack "Old Look" buses resembled the PCC car more than it did the buses that came before them. |

The yellow line in the street on the right side is not in the right place. The "train" is infringing past the line into the traffic lane. |
