Dual-Mode Vehicle Makes Debut

Can't decide whether to take the bus or the train?

The train will get you nearby but the bus is too slow….what to do?

Japan's Northern main island of Hokkaido launched a dual-mode vehicle that can travel both on tracks and roads.

The trus, burain…not sure what to call it made an 11-kilometer (6.5mile) trek on the Senmo Line of JR Hokkaido, then folded up its steel wheels and taveled on its Bridgestones along the sea of Okhotsk route 244 as a bus.

This kind of vehicle can be very useful in the countryside of Japan.

Do you think there is a market for dual-mode vehicles where you live?
