<p>Paul, thanks for finding this photo - this is exactly what I was talking about... </p><p>You say that this was an experiment that never took hold for lack of traction... pardon my naivety, but do you mean that the rear wheels didn't have enough traction on the rails to brake (or accelerate) effectively, or just that the idea never gained any "traction" with traffic planners.</p><p>By the way, can you, or any other reader, direct me to more information about this so-called experiment? I would love to read about it, since judging by the apparent age of the bus in the photo this was probably tried several decades ago. A lot of time has passed since then, and what might have been experimental technology then may well be completely do-able and practical today.</p><p> Again, thanks</p><p> </p><p> </p>
