A new form of public transportation is being developed in Israel called the SkyTran. It will be a system that lets 1 to 2 people travel above traffic at up to 150 mph along a set route. It will be like a subway, except above ground and above traffic. It will use magnets to propel itself and only uses about the amount of energy as two hairdryers. The price to use one is estimated to be about the same as a subway ticket and the cost of building the systems will be a fraction of what it would cost to build a subway line. It is an interesting way to circumvent traffic but I think if it does become a reality then traffic on the SkyTran might become a thing, but that's just human nature.
