Omg, please let the stupid "straddlebus" die. I'm curious why this is going viral everywhere again. I hate it so much. This tweet sums it up nicely:
I want to hear about the straddle bus even less than I want to hear about Hyperloop.

It's not a thing. It's some concept by a high school or college student who has a bit of solid modelling skills and zero knowledge of how transport actually works or needs to work. It also diminishes the credibility of other transportation alternatives, like Monorail, which are actual, viable alternatives, but get lumped in with this and laughed at by urban planers.
Now I've gone horribly off topic. Sorry, I know you were just trying to bring something interesting up, I'm not lashing out at you
Just... Blechhhhh!!! More FLEXITY talk plz!(Perhaps a moderator could move our posts over to the other transport thread in this sub forum?)
