Could this be BRT's silver bullet?
Coolness:
Toyota Motor is working on an Intelligent Multimode Transit System (IMTS) to allow visitors to move within the 2005 World Exposition (March 25 to September 25, 2005), Aichi, Japan.
Each IMTS unit will feature a "Z-CAPSULE" design that gently embraces passengers. The IMTS combines the advantages of rail and bus: on main roads, the buses run in automated platoons on dedicated roads, while on ordinary roads, each bus is manually driven.
So, to travel from central cities to outlying regions, people won't be obliged to switch buses.
I have a feeling that people will still be a little freaked out at the prospect of riding a bus operated by a machine, if only for part of their journey.
