| "how dose the machine perform,how many person's can it contain.how far can it travel.which machine can compite with the speed,as in a car,truck,train.i hope it cause less to maintain." (atebi jude 4/21/2004 7:27:40 AM) |
| "These little "cabs" perform well in tests. They average about 40 kilometers an hour, which is at least three times the average speed in the city. They hold four passengers, and use 75% less energy per passenger kilometer than a car." (Bill Christensen 4/21/2004 10:09:34 PM) |
| "Great site!" (Ganesh 11/5/2004 10:21:02 AM) |
| "So finally someone is thinking outside the "Mass Transit" box!! This is a wonderful idea that is too long in coming. Hopefully it will do well and spread to other municipalities around the globe." (Paul Pfeiffer 11/14/2004 4:09:09 PM) |
| "I don't think the travel time is very efficient for destinations outside of cities.. It will take so much longer to get there even with traffic jams.. overall, this is a swell idea..inxpensive." (Traci Lee 12/5/2004 6:42:47 PM) |
| "fantastic way to get around pollution" (jordan 2/10/2006 11:44:34 AM) |

hopefully we'll be seeing it everywhere soon" (karol 2/22/2006 4:43:43 AM) |

this device is in every mobile
to come to each other at anytime." (Nikhil Dhoot 1/29/2012 6:30:43 AM) |
