Parcel n' People Mover Concept

UK designer Hugh Frost had an insightful thought: Since both packages and people need to travel around cities, why not kill two birds with one stone? His resultant solution:

The Freight*BUS is a massive new vehicle featuring advanced technology and the ability to adapt to varying numbers of passengers and freight. This flexibility is in part due to ceiling-suspended pairs of seats, which can be completely folded out of the way. At night, or during off-peak times of day, Frost envisages his Freight*BUS being utilized to carry goods around the city, with a capacity of the equivalent to 35 standard 'europallets'. To aid loading and unloading, Frost has designed a palletless system.

Frost is currently seeking backers for the concept; if you know someone with deep pockets, send 'em to him.
