 Here's what we need in Tucson, instead of a light rail system.

-It costs 1/2 the price to build (per mile) as a conventional highway and 1/7 the cost of light rail systems
-The guideways can be built above streets, through alleyways, and even through buildings, taking up an incredibly low amount of land area
-Passengers control their own destination through a computer network, so people accustomed to having the freedom of driving their own cars (as opposed to already used to waiting for buses and subways, as in bigger urban areas) can still feel in control-BUT at the same time you don't have to drive, so we could still drink coffee and read the morning paper on our way to work.

So just run one by my apartment and store, and call me "Judy Jetson", please.
