Flat Tires?    What in the world would you do with one?     Nice looking system!

Isn't this an interesting way of doing business ... a hybrid trolley   
bus or a hybrid streetcar?   It has a guideway which 
serves as the power return rail.   Therefore we only need a   
pantograph to collect positive energy from the trolley 
wire.   But apparently it runs on rubber tires and is steerable,   
following the guideway.   And it's as long as a light 
rail car. 

Occurs to me that it might be an interesting place to go have   
dinner.....
