When it comes to transportation, I trust one man, and one man only.

Did someone say Monorail, right here in Springfield?
Yes and with the rolling blackouts you go from 100 miles per hour to zero in sub-second time. Where's Walt Disney when you need him?

I think its workable, but its a several times more complicated than they want to make it sound.
First the Pods have to be bigger, at least 4 person pods. For Families. Second. Some people just can't help vandalizing stuff. Like the pod they are riding in. And then I have to ride in it. Third what does happen if the electricty fails? Do I get to sit there hanging from the pod for house? Overall, its a great idea. It would let me use mass transit without dealing with the masses.
