British designer Chris Hanley has proposed a new concept, the Maglev public transportation system, which is kind of like a cross between a gondola and a Japanese bullet train. The name Maglev is actually short for magnetic levitation, the system on which this transport system is based.
The Maglev public transportation system is emission-free and runs along a suspended track above roads. It uses existing buildings as stations and can rotate 360° to navigate tight turns and narrow passages.
