This is the Cambridgeshire Guided Busway - one of the biggest wastes of money Cambridgeshire County Council / Cambridge City Council ever approved... The driver doesn't steer, simply accelerates and brakes, and the bus aligns itself to the tracks.

Reminds me of when the city of Hildesheim installed a solar-powered bus line up a mountain and on the first drive, it was cloudy and the bus stopped halfway uphill and the Lord Mayor had to get out and help push the bus up

Leeds has one or two of these Guided Busways, with this one i drive passed regularly. I hardly see buses on it, but it does ease congestion on that stretch of road (only to be congested further down the road with badly designed roundabouts)
York City Council's worst public transportation flop was the FTR Bus, controversial at best. Before launching the bus onto the streets of York, the council made changes (expensive changes) to the road layouts here. As soon as it was released, the 'self-ticketing' system which was installed on all the buses, had significant faults resulting in staffing extra conductors. They were noisy, nor were as practical as double-decker buses. The service was withdrawn in 2012. The worst offense this bus made however was....well just look at it.

Wow, that bus is hideous!
It looks as if Leeds guided busway is in the city, reducing congestion, but Cambridge doesn't have wide enough roads for this - our busway runs for 12 miles between Cambridge and St. Ives. The buses use the road as normal in the town centres. The idea was to reduce traffic on the A14, which is almost always at a standstill on weekday mornings, but for commuters it is more expensive and less convenient to use the bus.

Maybe this is why one member of the Hungarian government said this in defense of the Paks II nuclear project: "Solar cells are not enough, because we need power in the night too"
