MikeB4:Linuxluver: Awesome looking electric bus that straddles traffic and takes up no road space.

How many cities could that work in NZ? Christchurch maybe.
Anywhere you build a flat-ish carriageway with a 'track' each two lanes. :-)
I wonder how you'd handle corners. Any curves would have to be gentle.
I've seen videos of the system operating. Platforms one level above the streets...and these things roll along and stop at the platforms as cars carry on below, passing through / beneath. Eliminates the need for both tunnels and a large amount of dedicated road space.....plus they are electric.
The Terrace and Featherston street would be interesting
