"Brilliantly innovative on-demand transit system set to open in 2026". Great details on the technology & engineering that make @whooshtransport.bsky.social transformative urban transportation

This is a recording. *Beep*😂Seriously tho, you are spot on when you say that being able to scale up the number of small autonomous pods according to ridership demand while not being tied to a track system is the ultimate goal. I'm just saying there's a lot of ways to get there.

Hi Wendy. Respectfully, appreciate your questions. Questions are always good. These vehicles are fully autonomous. And they can achieve your goal of scaling small autonomous pods according to ridership demand with FAR less infrastructure than a track system. Literally just a post every 300'👍

💯Mass transit needs better last-mile solutions to feed more riders into the system. Currently, mass transit draws most riders from only a half-mile radius of each station.

Because it shows the first day it's running😉which will be soon. Two prototypes built to prove the technology. Construction of the first operational system starts this year.

Hi Wendy, we've built two prototypes that have proven the technology, and construction starts this year on the first system. We invite you to stay tuned!

Hi @wendyow.bsky.social, it's actually here! Our autonomous pods have reliable (and easily expandable) routes that can be redeployed in real-time depending on demand

Mexico City, La Paz, Quito, Medellin, Santo Domingo and several other cities are using gondolas at scale, i.e., multiple lines with 6-25 stations. In La Paz, gondolas are now the primary transit system for the entire city. www.howwegettonext.com/cable-cars-a...

Once seen as only good for industry or tourists, the cable car is now emerging as a crucial form of public transit.

City builders from Christopher Wren to Pierre L'Enfant to Benjamin Banneker to today's Anne Hidalgo: they started with a Dream, a Vision, and the persistence to make it a reality.

Was excited to see Minnesota at #5 for most bike-friendly states. California a surprising #4. How's your state doing? 🚲

When widening highways will no longer do, the city of Sugar Land, southwest of Houston, is looking up for answers.
