It's not every day that a new public transit technology pops up that can claim:

1. faster real-world speed than Light Rail
2. marginally cheaper to construct
3. <1 minute waits
4. powered by the grid
5. proven in multiple cities
6. travels above grade, ignoring street level obstacles
7. plenty of capacity (by Louisville standards)
8. ennobling and fun to ride

Ladies and Gentlemen, from the continent that invented Bus Rapid Transit, we give you Cable Propelled Transit. This technology has just gone mainstream in the North American Transit Blogosphere. There's a technology overview here. Wow.
