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.

      The wheel is just there during the testing phase as a backup, seems the final pods don’t have it, as it would make the idea useless.
