h a l f b a k e r yI like this idea, only I think it should be run by the government.

In most major cities, congested traffic not only contributes
to
higher levels of pollution, but also causes road rage, noise
and
traffic accidents. I propose that traffic be banned from the
inner city and that a massive crowd be installed in its place.
Those who need to travel around the
city jump out their
second storey windows and are crowd-surfed to their
destination (enjoying a free massage in the process).
Naturally
the crowd would need to be fuelled with a steady supply of
alcohol (a renewable energy source), but this is, apparently,
the only cost of running the crowd-surf system.
or was I thinking of this one?

Wow that was quick - from home to work in record time. Now where's my wallet? ahhhh! |
|

didn't farmerjohn do something along these lines? |
|
| |
As I understand it, farmerjohn is proposing a 'piggy-back'
style, whereas this is more of a surf (ie: being passed from
one bearer to the next). |

is jumping on someone's head just a tad dangerous? I don't want to be negative or anything.. |
|
| |
This would be fine as long as the crowd members had volunteered to be surfed upon. I normally only help crowd surfers on their way because I don't want them to spend a moment longer than necessary on my head. |

Where I live, they baked this today. A HUGE manifestation against the goverment is being held right now... 6 million people participating, almost EVERY FUCKING road has been closed. Now how's that for transportation? Personally, I wouldn't like to jump on them. |

<old codger> It was [Guy Fox]
who came up with this idea before.
It was called "Cilia-Surf to School"
