Yes, this is what we need: a safe, clean, quiet, energy-efficient urban
transport system, using small, light vehicles, with no schedules or fixed
routes, which delivers people wherever they want to go, 24 hours a day, ~3

cheap, too.

The thing is, it's already been done: IT'S CALLED A BICYCLE!

Jesus.
