Country folk tend to like the independence offered by their cars, so how do you get them to use public transit? The Monocab system may be the answer, as it utilizes individual on-demand pods that travel on existing abandoned railways.

    Man I wish our trains ran anywhere near that constantly. They stop the public transit around midnight in my city, but that doesn’t stop it from being tremendously useful during the rest of the time. You learn to plan for it, and advocate for improvements whenever you can

      It is stupid not to. It doesn’t cost much and makes transit so much nicer.
