Sorry to hear of your sight problems Steve. That was interesting about the guided horse carts. In Pompeii there are channels in the road, but they were worn by the vast number of carts entering the city over the years. Congestion got so bad goods deliveries were only allowed at night. I heard this was where the rail gauge came from. Googled the O-Bahn bus system in Adelaide, like the part were cars sumps are ripped off if they enter the dedicated bus road. Guess I was lucky the other week just getting a £30 charge for entering a bus lane, it was a fair cop guv, got me bang to rights. A guided bus was tried in the 80's in Birmingham UK, "Tracline 65," I didn't know about it till seeing one of the busses in the Aston Manor Transport Museum.
