Podcars Provide Alternative Transportation

| | Comments (0)

With 70 million Americans nearing retirement age, the number of people isolated as they lose their ability to drive is expected to increase dramatically. In an op-ed piece in the Los Angeles Times, a University of Southern California professor touts a system she says would provide private transportation for these people, as well as cutting down on pollution and traffic. The system uses podcars---small, four-passenger cabs that travel on a monorail system and, unlike a subway line, are available on demand.
