That's why, as a car freak, I have been a proponent of PRT since the
seventies. No other technology has the ability of taking drudge cars out of
the picture so we can have some fun.
Trains and busses won't do it. Yet the meatheads in charge of the state
where I live are pouring a ton of money into the LRT rathole.
