Blog 8 - November 5, 2012

Howdy! Thanks for logging in!

So this week let's talk about mass transportation, which would also alleviate some of this country's dependence on fossil fuel.

Here's a link:

http://listsoplenty.com/blog/?p=11061

For this week's credit pick one of these urban transports, tell us which one, and then tell us why the one you picked is better than the others.

As always, read Tuesday and blog Thursday.

Talk to me . . .

I definitely think that the Roadable Aircraft is the most rediculous concept on the page. They obviously don't know how to put a flying charm on the car....muggles....sigh...

I picked the sky tran because they could all travel at different heights and there would be no more waiting at intersections!!

I'm pick The JETPOD-The FLying Taxi. The flying taxi is better than the other transports, because it seems more efficient than the others.

I like the SkyTran because I think it's really cool how it's all computer controlled, you can just tell it where it to go, and it will take you there without a single stop.

Jetpod - The Flying Taxi
this jetpod could service a city the size of London, and it would cut down the amount of traffic.

Personally, I don't like any of them. But, if I had to choose one, I would choose the ULTra. Because is had non-stop service and it makes your trip two to three times faster.

I liked the sky tram. It's good because it is a mass transportation but at the same time you are in your own compartment.

I really like the Personal Hovercraft, the way it's body is shape is just so, "futuristic". I just wish the price would go down, that the gas powered engine could run more than an hour and that they were made in more colors.

I think that the Superbus because it can carry more passengers. A hybrid-electric drive makes the bus up to 30percent more fuel efficient than any other s of the same size.

I like the Bus Rapid Transport personally beause its the only thing I seen/trust to keep me on the ground. It has plenty of room to transport lots of people the only thing I have to look out for is a crazy bus driver with a mean uppercut Lol yall know how them bus drivers do it now a days.

In my opinion i would have to go with the personal flying saucer. Its neat because it can go up 3feet up and 50 mph over terrain that fast for a flying disc that fits a person in it. I would of never thought i'd be saying "flying saucer" in a sentence until like the year 2020 or some but then again it was created in 2007.

I think the the flying train is a great idea. it improves upon the alrady exgsisting train and reducing its enrgy consumption. not only does it reduce the trains consumption the train is fed via solor panles and wind genarators. makeing the train doubles as a power genarator for what ever energy isnt used by the train.

I like the roadable aircraft because if your late to work and your driving there you could easily just fly over the traffic.

A personal hovercraft... why dont i own one of these already? i always thought that hovercrafts were a thing that was best left to my dreams but no this dream is a reality! i think its better than the rest cause well it hovers. also everything else is for multiple people and i dont know about you but traveling with a huge group of people in something like the JETPOD kinda freaks me out. also i sometimes just need my me time and what better way to get that me time than rading on a hover craft :)

I love the idea of the taxi plane. It's more SWAG than all the others becuase it just seems the coolst and it would be a SWAG way of transportation. With a flying taxi you get further in less time which is super SWAG. Thats all :)

i chose the Bus Rapid Transport because it would hold the most people, it is eletric, and it can be driven automatically.

the personal flying saucer is the one that i say is better than the others because is the "ultimate off-road vehicle" it is true because it doesnt have wheels so that wouldnt be any problem you would never get stuck since it flies three meters off the ground

JETPOD – The Flying Taxi is better than the others because it has a short take off and can move people quickly and not take any road space. It keeps more cars off the road and moves people that want a fast taxi quickly.

My favourite was the Flying train because it could transport much more people in a shorter time and be more energy efficient with the solar panels along the guides and the wind turbines.

I like the Sky Tran because its very very VERY fuel efficient (200 mpg!!) it wont be in the way or take a lot of room since its so small, it can take you to many places quite faster and you will be at your destination as quickly as a porsche (exaggerating a lot)

I picked the SkyTran...this thing is AWESOME!! It's like taxi trasportation, but in the air. The SkyTran connects to buldings and above streets. It moves quietly and it takes 200 MPG!! They would be easy and quick to build and save energy and gas!

I think that the SkyTran is the best and coolest idea out of all of them. There are no intersections. It's all above ground so that would get rid of traffic. The availability of them would also be a plus.

Out of all the vehicles I saw, the JETPOD seemed the best. It is basically a flying taxi and I find this ideal in a place like New York where taxis are just EVERYWHERE. All the other vehicles didn't really seem useful, but I think the JETPOD could really do something!

the small grouped flying cars might have that fast trasnportation but it doesn't seem safe right now, since theres going to be many more flying around as well and who knows (911 all over again), so i would rather just get a chill ride around that 'Bus Rapid' transportation.
