Good luck doing that in a country the size of the US or Australia via train. Trains are great for short (<150 miles) distances, but become outmoded beyond that. That's why in the US we send goods that don't have to be there today via rail and passengers who want to arrive quickly via air. Amazing how the market works when you let it.<BR/><BR/>The real obvious problem with this idea is security, but the futurist can probably be forgiven because airplane hijackings really only came into vogue in the 1970s.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3904461976821332291.post-29352894595578478462007-08-23T03:37:00.000-04:002007-08-23T03:37:00.000-04:002007-08-23T03:37:00.000-04:00nice theme for a blog <BR/>i wanna appreciate your curiosity and creativity<BR/>i've been thinkin' on writin' my thesis about vision of future cities (depending on fiction novels and movies)(i am an architect and will become an urban designer)<BR/>so be sure I'll be the fan of 'ur blog:)working queenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06304612280780256907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3904461976821332291.post-82275419317489325742007-08-21T17:41:00.000-04:002007-08-21T17:41:00.000-04:002007-08-21T17:41:00.000-04:00Love your interesting blog.

How?! You get to sit hours longer than you do already -- doing nothing, being shuttled in a combination bus / cargo container (presumably without food or beverages available) from site to site until you get to the airport, where you're latched into an airframe (hello, unnecessary complexity meets chaos theory!).Wutzkenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3904461976821332291.post-16556740126126914632007-08-21T09:42:00.000-04:002007-08-21T09:42:00.000-04:002007-08-21T09:42:00.000-04:00This is a similar idea to the Aramis system that began development in Paris -- Bruno Latour's Aramis, or the Love of Technology tells all about it ...Lizahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05105726464955172469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3904461976821332291.post-8385634349368969792007-08-21T08:16:00.000-04:002007-08-21T08:16:00.000-04:002007-08-21T08:16:00.000-04:00That would be really nice! However it is 37 years since 1970.. Real unfortunate that such a 'Mass Transit system' hasn't emerged!<BR/><BR/>I have been stuck at many an airport myself and it is not always a very nice experience!<BR/><BR/>~Aneet<BR/>www.piscatorial-chronicles.blogspot.comAneethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04059876292265934523noreply@blogger.com
