My friends and I are annoyed by traffic jams in Hong Kong, especially during festivals and rush hours.
To solve the problem, the government has been building flyovers and new roads like the one that connects the Central and Wan Chai. Sadly, the problem still exists. Is there any other solution?
A recent article in the Young Post (March 9) gave me hope. Geoffery Barnett of New Zealand has come up with a human-powered monorail - the 'schweeb'.
It's like riding a bicycle in mid-air. It is safe and environmentally friendly. The reclining seat is comfortable and there is a weather-proof capsule.
Imagine, if most commuters in Hong Kong were 'schweebing' during rush hours, traffic would be much smoother. The spectacular view from the Schweeb would also attract tourists to Hong Kong.
The government should give the 'schweeb' a thought.
