Russia unveiled the new Uber concept ...although passenger sharing was mandatory, and slight delays were inevitable.

And tell Sir Cliff if he stars singing "we're all going on a summer holiday" once more, I will jettison the lot of them and Una will end up buried up to her bloody Stubbs.
"As a proof of concept it works, but it's a pity the driver, conductor and all the passengers have to get off and walk to their destination while the bus is transported over their heads."
Not a Caption: Years ago Sikorsky built the S-60, which was pretty much a CH-54 looking machine spun off from the CH-37 with the two huge Radial Engines.
They equipped the aircraft with a similar platform to that in the photo.....and put some passenger seats on the thing....in the open.
Talk about a panoramic view!
The story goes that Igor Sikorsky went along for a ride on the platform....complete with the famous Fedora Hat....and when the Crew happened to look back....Igor had unstrapped and was walking around like a tourist at Brighton Beach.
He was one of a kind!
The Fedora is still in his Office which has been preserved as it was when he was still working there.

"The bean counters came up with it, they worked out we were spending a small fortune on replacement tyres for the bus annually"
