   @sam this article is amazingly contradictory.

   The pods reduce the footprint of mass transit by being narrower than a Ford f150 (not mass transit pickup).

   Using standard roads doesn't work, but this will be expanded in the future to use... STANDARD ROADS.

   This is just more 80s future fantasy based on elementary sci-fi book covers

     I'm not saying that we should murder everyone involved with this project, that would be illegal. What I *am* saying is that #Atlanta and the world would be a much better place if someone did do that.

     TL;DR we're testing a bunch of rich shit's private 'whites and "one of the good ones"'-only (we all know that's the point, don't pretend like it's not rich people going to the convention center) pod-busses instead of just building fucking public bus lanes and light rail. 😠
