You would have to redesign our entire street infrastructure and as spread out as our city is, it would be damn near impossible to use that.

Also, how would cars be able to turn or switch lanes if you were under that bus. I think most people would just get out of the way if they saw this thing coming for them.
Imagine if some small town farmer saw this thing coming, it would look like a transformer robot coming at them.

LOL @ transformers comment

You can switch lanes as it has room for 2 lanes. I think people who need to turn and this was there would probably just slow down for a moment to let it pass. It would work best on longer commutes I'd think.
