Freight*BUS

A "radical" redesign of London buses that combines passenger and freight service–or just freight, to be honest, because any potential passengers would run a mile at first sight of this thing.

  1. Can it drive sideways while carrying a full load of robots?

  2. This is a dumb concept no matter how you look at it.

    A hybrid passenger-freight bus is simply retarded -- all the passengers have to sit around twiddling their thumbs while someone gets the forklift and comes tootling up to unload some pallets? Ridiculous.

    Or will it just be a dedicated freight-hauling vehicle with no passengers? I believe we have something like that already, known as "trucks."
