Cupture the idea of “Damage” (thx to you, hope it is ok for you?) I think it would be of some help for the team, if they know all of the things that are in development in the world or you have heard from or read in some scifi books, so the have a wider range to select from, when the plan to implement some future technologies.
So let us generate a lis of this technologies with links of use:
TRAINS:
– Superconducting Vacuum tubes for trains / Evacuated Tube transport : (Origin: “Damage”)
http://et3.com/index.asp
http://www.swissmetro.ch/en/home
– Turbine driven trains: (Origin: “Damage”)
– Hydrogen engines for trains: (Origin: “Damage”)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrail
-Maglev: (Origin: “Damage”)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maglev
– Linear Induction for trains:

http://www.maglev.ir/eng/documents/papers/conferences/maglev2002/topic7/IMT_CP_M2002_T7_S2_1.pdf
– Levitation engines:
* known from Transport Tycoon
– String Trains:
http://www.alternatetransport.com/index.html
– Tubular Trains
http://www.tubularrail.com/
-Streettrains (maybe more Bus then train?)
http://www.chinahush.com/2010/07/31/straddling-bus-a-cheaper-greener-and-faster-alternative-to-commute/
-“Green Trains”
http://www.gizmag.com/solar-powered-bullet-train/11785/
-Startrains
http://www.startram.com/
BUSES:
– Underfloor Induction Buses

Please help to expand this list. I would implement all infos in the top post.
Thanks to all!
