Most bus routes have enough people who can drive sitting on the bus for a significant proportion of the journey - why not let the passengers drive the bus, bringing down the cost of public transport? An electronic ID or fingerprint recognition system could be used to only allow qualified people to drive. Drivers would get a small fee and a free ride.
Life, the universe and everything, from the perspective of numerous iterations of adreama throughout life.

Adreama
This blog is a hotchpotch of my thoughts, opinions, reviews, analysis of idioms, and links to articles that I have come across on my travels.
I would like to write a comprehensive philosophy or metareligion, but I haven't got the motivation. Likewise, I would like to write a book analysing sayings, idioms, phrases, quotes etc.
