As neither you nor LEP mentioned, I mention the big innovation in Bordeaux: they again attempted a system without catenary. This one has no continuous power line, like the two rails hidden in that ditch in the Budapest system, but power points in the road that 'open' automatically when the train is above them. *Lunatic*, n. One whose delusions are out of fashion.

And Bordeaux with its own article and picture without catenaire :
But saying all that, yeah, it does follow from the current effort proving its viability.
And of course an Aerobus does not need to worry about the cost of building through obstacles to providing power, as the power supply goes over the obstacles along with the track. I've been accused of being a Marxist, yet while Harpo's my favourite, it's Groucho I'm always quoting. Odd, that.
I'm not aure I understand the point about building power supply across obstacles. Do you mean catenary systems, or also the Bordeaux system? *Lunatic*, n. One whose delusions are out of fashion.
On the other stuff, like I said, electric trains are prosaic for me, while trams are more exotic. If I had been living in Melbun, it probably would have been the other way around. I've been accused of being a Marxist, yet while Harpo's my favourite, it's Groucho I'm always quoting. Odd, that.
