Did You Know A Local Town is Looking Into Alternative Water Transportation?

Did you know a local town is looking into alternative water transportation?

My first thought was something like the canals of Vienna, but I think the vision is a little different than that. As there is so much congestion of traffic in the neighboring cities, in particular those cars heading to NASA, the local communities are looking for alternative methods of transportation. I think I kind of like this idea. It would be smart to use the existing waterways to help people get to where they need to go and it seems as if it would help cut down on the traffic congestion. They are not looking at using gasoline powered boats that hold 50 people, but rather some type of containerized bullet-train type water jet! Sounds very interesting! It would also be appealing to tourists in the area. The communities that could possibly be interested in this new idea are those who surround Galveston Bay, Clear Lake and Taylor Lake.
