No driver!


View from one of the new metro (line U3) trains which are operated fully automatically. Right now passengers are only allowed on these trains on some days, on June 14 the U3 will be officially opened.

Oh, let us know how this turns out. I think this was tried experimentally on the BART trains in the San Francisco area, but they decieded to go with operators on each train in the end. Very nice shot. It's fun to see what local transportaion looks like in different cities!

Welcome to the CDPB community! I look forward to visiting NP again.

PS- Many of us have turned off word verification as it was making commenting very time consuming for some who try to visit many blogs each day. Very little to no spam comes through even with it turned off. You might consider doing it, too.
