Looks like they could totally fit a bike rack on these things too!

    It seems more sensible to refurbished the tracks and operate trains there.

      Someone is suggesting pods. “Sensible” was never part of the proposal. Every time pods are suggested, modifications that would make them sensible just turn them into trains/trams.

        Yes, it’s regrettable to see public money is wasted on this kind of projects instead of being spent to really improve the public transport infrastructure. Although, in Germany, it really isn’t bad. But still.
