How to board a train that doesn’t stop

3 07 2008

Don’t you wish the bus/train you commute on would only stop at the stations you get on at and get off on.  The above video is a demonstration of a new potential public transit system in Taiwan in which the train never actually stops.  Passengers board/exit through a car attached to the train which travels between two stations.  The train will pick up the car at one station and drop off at the next.  This will not only save time, but also energy.  However, there still looks to be some possibly huge safety issues to overcome.  Even still, this is a very exciting prospect.
