What we need is mass transit with cubes. I think a lot of the reason people dont like busses is having to listen to peoples screaming children, dealing with drunks, etc. I imagine a bus with small cubes that are soundproof kinda like those portable toilets but with a bus seat instead. Get on the bus, pay, go into an empty cube, slide the door closed. No crying babies, drunk people, etc. Pull the cord when your stop is announced.

Good idea but you lose a huge amount of capacity with the cubes. It would still be magnitudes more efficient than a car per person though.

I think if i remember right our city busses could sit 30 or 34. With the cubes i figure maybe 25?

Buses are designed to carry a lot more people than the number of seat they have since they allow for standing. Adding cubes would take away that standing space.
