Test-riding event in Fuji, Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan. (January 21, 2007)In the year 2000, Hokkaido Railway Company (JR Hokkaido) began developing a prototype DMV (Dual Mode Vehicle) 'minibus' that will carry 25 passengers and can operate as a train, running on tracks with steel and rubber wheels, as well as a bus, driving on roads with conventional tires. Now nearing completion this remarkable hybrid will be able to take advantage of existing rail track through more developed areas and then shift to roadways for operation in less-densely populated areas. Overcoming the main obstacle to this kind of service it can change from one type of wheels to the other in 10 to 15 seconds! (JR NEWS Aug 9, 2006)

Considering the time it takes to drop the hi-rail wheels on to the tracks, and all the geopolitics of having to talk to dispatch to get clearance to enter the RoW, I don't see it as being very efficient. I don't see it even passing a kaizan audit.

鐵路&道路兩用bus^^超實用..這樣..以後要考火車司機需再加考大bus駕駛執照了..

カッコいいとかじゃなくて役に立つかどうかが課題。

You can go, as Chiavarino told to train after that took the young turkeys away from the tracks
