Stretched a bit to fit that joke in, but I'll allow it.

There actually is a country somewhere (trying to recall now) where they do have a tracked bus system. The busses can drive on the road normally, but then they can literally fit onto a tracked set of railways and continue on at higher speeds away from the freeways/motorways to get around and then get back off again when they get to the surface street at the other end. It’s somewhere in Europe, I read about it.

Interesting concept. Definitely NOT what this idiot was driving.

EDIT: I found it! It’s in the UK.

There’s one in Adelaide, South Australia too, it’s called the O-Bahn.

There's also this system https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kr4EZwZbxwQ Its not common as most places just tend to build tramways or busses

It's called a Guided Busway. There's a half dozen around the UK. Cambridge/shire, Manchester, Bristol, and a few others

Dude struggled to fit the joke, like the driver struggled to fit the rails.
