We definitely need to rethink our designs. Way too much expense and time spent on autos. People should have options. Something like the MagLev has uses in many areas, but it is really for long distance or some distance travel.
The problem is the details. If the govt gets involved it can get really crazy expensive. If placed in some places could prove useful. CA traffic can be hell. Could see some options being good. I watched a doc on how buses took over the new york trolleys. Was interesting.
