Wirelessly Charged Buses Being Tested Next Year 245
An anonymous reader writes "From the article: 'Bombardier's electric transit technology will be tested next winter on buses in Montreal, followed in early 2014 on a route in the German city of Mannheim. The transportation giant's Primove technology is designed to allow buses to be charged by underground induction stations when they stop to let passengers hop on and off.' This technology while impressive may not make it to the U.S. even if proven successful due to the lack of popularity of public transportation. If they could only get my phone to charge wirelessly."
The article says that the induction charging stuff could also be used to charge trains.

That sounds kind of dumb. Why would a train need batteries for propulsion?
Because these days more and more ticket-buying passengers are refusing to help pump the handcar arm.

Update: FEMA is aware of the acute punctuation shortage in Chicago and will get a shipment of multipurpose punctuation (usable as commas, apostrophes, and forward or backward quotes) to you as soon as Congress approves the appropriation.

Dude. Punctuation - it's your friend. As is grammar and spelling. I still don't know what you mean by the last half of your giant sentence.
You really shouldn't be giving advice on punctuation or grammar. Your spelling is great, though.
