The Rapid Commute system, as he calls it, would enable long-distance car commuters to hop aboard a train instead – while still bringing their personal vehicles with them. Drivers already similarly use ferries to cross waterways. So why not deploy the same concept, Farooq figures, to traverse miles of landlocked exurbia?
