The straddling bus – or the dragon bus as I'm renaming it – certainly solves some transportation problems as they're framed and makes better use of existing infrastructure. However, this is no human scale, small-planet solution. While less expensive than subways, cities designed for biking and walking would be vastly cheaper and more green than sprawling cities made more accessible by exotic public transportation fixes. Not to mention how intimidating it would be for drivers to be swallowed by "the dragon." I have a question mark by this innovation. What do you think?
