Dream Commute: Private Solar Pods On Public Transport
 

A new design study aims to shield riders on public transportation from what’s often their biggest complaint: The public. Designer Dave Owsen has drawn up a vision he somewhat ironically calls Community Transit. While it’s a mass transit system open to the public, riders have all the privacy of a trip in a car.
