What's a guided busway?


It's an ordinary road bus which runs in a concrete channel. Sensors on
the bus detect the channel and do the steering. Because the bus is
controlled so precisely the busway can be narrower than an ordinary bus
lane.

Sort of like a tram with an internal combustion engine, that doesn't
need tramlines.

They've got one in Edinburgh, goes past the Screwfix depot.

So does it have a driver? If it does, I don't see what's gained.
