Public transport may have hundreds of positives associated with it, but the fact that it is stuffed and suffocating overrides all benefits and is good enough to keep many people away from it. The Pendulous Concept seeks to lure people towards public transport by means of individual pods. Small, individual pods mean the transport isn’t going to get crowded, and a complete system with many pods could service large areas.

So it basically beats the negatives associated with current public transport, and somehow beats the positives too. Extensive infrastructure would be required to take care of these pods, and the cost effectiveness would also take a beating. This is more like a personal taxi than a public transport system.
