A guided bus is a hybrid of a tram and a bus, running along a dedicated lane of concrete tracks bounded by curbs.
The technology emerged in Germany in the 1970s. Its German name, “Spurbus,” combines “Spur” (track) with the English “bus.”
In its simplest form, the bus is fitted with guide rollers mounted near the front wheels, which keep the vehicle on track. The dedicated lane keeps it clear of traffic jams, while beyond that lane the vehicle drives like any ordinary bus.
Systems like this now operate in a number of countries, including France, Australia, and the UK.
P.S. The compromise cities were waiting for.
