Default Revolutionary Urban Transportation for 21st Century Cities

IGT is a radically new concept in urban public transportation


"Revolutionary" would be the idea proposed in the States a few years back of
having a mini-tram system with individual units and tracks to every house
and business in town.

Totally impractical I guess, but definitely revolutionary

What, you mean similar to the system the Talyllyn Railway had at
Abergynolwyn in the 19th (and early 20th) Century?

There's nothing new under the sun.

Not quite, but it is an interesting comparison.
