Alternative transportformer: fremtidens offentlige og private

Soon there will not be anymore oil left and then what? Should our cars run on electricity or should we go a completely different way. And what about the public transport? Will the buses and trains still be used or will we be transportatet in a other way?

Public transport

Here is some of the public transport which is being developed right now:

Sky Tran:

The SkyTran will enable commuters to beat the traffic and cut carbon emissions. SkyTran is a personal rapid transit system that features driver-less pods on "guide-ways" built above the ground, separating them from the general road traffic. Like a metro-line, the SkyTran would feature 'exits' and 'entrances' along its guide-ways. These personal rapid transit systems would, hopefully, cut automobile use and discourage multiple car ownership.

Mag-lev trains:

The Mag-lev trains is a system that is guided and propelled by magnetic levitation, mag-lev trains have the advantage of being faster, quiet and smoother over current mass transit systems. Not just that, but due to the lower need for energy to power the system, carbon emissions are minimum.

The system is currently implemented in several cities and countries such as Shanghai, in China, but there are hopes, that one day, it will replace current rail-based transport.
