Podcars: the Drive of the Future?
By EmploymentCrossing
As the oil crisis reaches an all time high, concerns over public transportation leave many to believe that electric, lightweight, automated podcars, which travel on their own network separate from other vehicles, are the way of the future.
In Ithaca, New York, Jacob Roberts, president of Connect Ithaca, a group of citizens, activists, and professionals, is committed to making the town the first podcar community in the United States. Podcars, or PRT (for personal rapid transit), use clean energy and are a means of public transportation that is quick, comfortable, and efficient, and are designed to encourage greater environmental awareness.
Carrying as many as 10 and as few as two people per car, podcars reduce the use of fossil fuels while providing passengers with a certain level of privacy and freedom not found in public transportation as it stands today. Podcars would also reduce traffic congestion and free up space currently set aside for parking.
Despite the evident environmental appeal surrounding podcars, skeptics are quick to question whether the podcar system would be too expensive and complex. Fears that such a mode of transportation would be suitable only for limited distances, such as college campuses and airports, lead many to believe that podcars may be nothing more than a costly novelty.
