Country folk tend to like the independence offered by their cars, so how do you get them to use public transit? The Monocab system may be the answer, as it utilizes individual on-demand pods that travel on existing abandoned railways.

Look at the wheels, flanges on both sides.

I don’t think that’s compatible with switches.

it’s very visible in the first shot of this video where they do some test runs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d2al1oFolWM
