While the above invention looks cool, I don’t know how much I’d like being locked in a glass tube. But anyways, let me tell you about it.
What you see aboe is the Schweeb monorail that will seat one rider and be powered by nothing other than your feet. The monorail has yet to see a commercial use but instead currently stands as an attraction in New Zealand where you can race your frineds at speeds up to 56MPH.
Shweeb talks of the pods, calling them:
the most efficient vehicle on earth, the most inexpensive infrastructure of any proposed urban transit and one of the highest capacity systems available – potentially delivering thousand’s of people per hour in a very small airspace. All this with zero carbon emissions and no parking worries or cost!
