       Unlike the boring company's hole these futuristic almost trains can run in two directions at once. They are also still worse than trains in everyway a lesson learned in the 70s I think they are cute. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vca3EF4C5xU

       @futurebird I love these old “futuristic” things

       @futurebird I would ride the hell out of those once they were installed at, I am certain, a very reasonable price!

       @futurebird not gonna watch the youtube, but the light rail (traditional two rail) trains in the town I live in have driver consoles at each end, and a few lines have light enough traffic that don't have seperate rails for each direction, except for a short section where one train can pass another, and when the train reaches the end of the line, it doesn't turn around; instead, the driver just walks to the other end of the train.

       @futurebird I dunno if that’d be good for mass transport, but for setting up a line with a small footprint to get from one end of a large campus to the other, that could be cool. Maybe you’ve got ordinary footpaths as Tier 0, moving walkways as Tier 1, and a small monorail system as Tier 2 for different speed short-range transports that can accept almost anything sans cargo?

       @futurebird We could bring back the Brennan gyro monorail to run both ways on a single existing pair of tracks. Maybe it'll make a comeback with batteries and electric motors and such.https://youtu.be/WVPqltM-Zbw
