i used to live in a one-bus-a-day place so i get it. not that there was ever a railway there.
i don’t understand how they could possibly be stand-by; the wheel profile makes it impossible for them to switch tracks so they can only run on fully single-track lines, meaning that any pod waiting at station B would impede all traffic going from A-C.
The monopods would essentially all move - Dunno if that’d work well in practice - never said it would - I just think we should judge the idea to be “techbro bullshit” just yet without having it really seen anywhere close to action.

i mean, before they can show something that will actually work, it may as well not exist.
