nashville's choo choo plan

Lawmakers looking to relieve traffic congestion in Nashville have hit upon an improbable solution: a monorail.

The stretch of I-24 between Nashville and Murfreesboro is one of the most congested in the state, and it’s projected to get even worse as the population grows.

So State Senator Bill Ketron, a Murfreesboro Republican, proposed building a monorail along the highway median. While it may sound ridiculous at first, the idea is getting some traction. (via)
