I had planned a new Thought Experiment for today’s post, until I came upon this:
The 8 Most WTF Ideas In the History of Transportation via one of my all-time favourite websites, Cracked.com.
For obvious reasons I had to preempt today’s post. I’m quite sure all the transit geek’s out there will love it, if for no other reason than it features (spoiler!) the Chinese Tunnel Bus™.

I’m still rooting for the Tunnel Bus.
@ Brian,
Same here. I want to ride that thing!
“Same here. I want to ride that thing!”
Are you sure about that? I have a feeling that vehicle is as safe as the thing this guy is doing in the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lkwh4ZaxHIA
Anyway, imagine Asia with those things here instead of their common small motorcycles 😉

I still want one!
@ LX,
I think those small helicopters would be even more dangerous than the tunnel bus.
Yes, but at least no mass destruction vehicle 😉
Anyway I’d like to see (if) that tunnel bus (will ever) be built.
Call me crazy, but even more than riding in one, I want to see what it is like to have one drive over you.
