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.

    Let’s forget trains and go to trolleys. Cheaper than these new pods, simpler, can hold more than 2 people.

    You don’t need as much power as a commuter train.
