This car is OKU & public transport friendly

TRANSIT took note of this story in a blog post some months back, but we were so busy that we never had a chance to actually post it. But it certainly caught our attention, and with the coming of the New Year, we thought this would be a fun and interesting post to start the year with.

A "car" (actually a powered covering for a wheelchair) fitting inside a subway train. The picture is supposed to be from Olso, Norway.

According to the post, the vehicle is a kenguru car. More information can be found at http://www.kengurucars.com/

The kenguru car is an electric vehicle with a range of 30 miles (48km)

We have to wonder when this car will come to Malaysia.
