I hope #AdamSomething will completely dismantle the #TechBro #grift that is #ottobahn...
It has all the checkmarks for #TechBro #bullshit in it:
- individual #Pods
- old ideas rebranded as "disruptive" [it's literally an overhead monorail that's used in #mining for a driverless cart]
- no intercompatibility with any existing tech & rolling stock.
- not scalable at all
- forcing people to use a shitty app.
- totally designed to be neither accessibble nor useful outside of bodily abled neurotypicals
- grifting public funds and infrastructure and defunding public transport.
@LunaDragofelis Barrier-Free Minimuses are a good option to provide public transport in medium-to-low density areas like suburbia without a lot of infrastructure or huge masses of commuters...
That being said even overhead monorails can be useful when done properly like the #SkyTrain in Düsseldorf or Chiba's SAFEGE system...
It's definitely cheaper than underground metro stations and removes congestion from roads.
