[sustran] Re: China straddling bus - a car-freindly bus?

[Ian Perry]

The straddling bus has "Sky lights that eliminate a passengers sense
of depression"...  but the whole idea of a straddling bus makes me
depressed...   This is a project for cars, rather than public transport.

Another technological idea that focuses on the symptoms of our problem
(congestion), rather than the problem itself  (too many cars and too much
travel) is this - from Intel:

<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FnLcniU_61s&feature=player_embedded>The best
cities in Europe are those with the least number of cars per person, the
least car usage and the least reliance on technology.  As each car journey
costs a city money the less car journeys made, the more money the city and
citizens have to invest in better projects, etc.
