Personal Trains on Abandoned Light-Rail Tracks


I always wanted something like this as a child!

The French association, Hehe, has come up with some concept "personal trains" intended to be used on abandoned light-rail tracks. They have several concepts and even some prototypes that are in the works. My favorite is the flying carpet design by Tapas Volant (picture above.) You can see a video of it in use here. It's so funny watching peoples' reactions as he rides his little cushion through town.


Thanks to Boingboing for the info!
