The Shenzhen Hashi Future Parking Equipment Co. of China has a proposal situated somewhere between Superstudio and Plug-In City: An elevated megabus/subway hybrid that slides over the traffic instead of going around it, or creating congestion itself. From the looks of the video though, this excludes trucks—they'll have to go around, as if they don't have it hard enough already.

Wonderful, wonderful idea though. I am super impressed!!
And...wouldn't you feel *completely* freaked out if the "overload bus" crept over your vehicle? I think I'd have a Imperial Star Destroyer "caught in a tractor beam" sinking feeling. I *might* get used to it...
This is such fascinating idea though. How about a lane dedicated to that mass transit where the lower portion is also a mass transit bus that makes frequent stops and the upper one is an "express bus"?
