Although I live in Europe, this absolutely blew my mind.

Was I dreaming? In an alternate universe? In the future? …Maybe I’m just naive, but … wow.

Okay, let me back up a bit - I’d just arrived at the Düsseldorf airport, tired after a twelve hour flight. I’d be flying home from Düsseldorf in the morning. I was just getting out of the car, when-

I looked up.

My mouth dropped open.

What.

Are you ready for this?

AIR TRAINS.

This mindblowing tin can was casually cruising above the city. How had I never heard of this before? Imagine the view you have riding from this every day!

Here I was, riding dingy, depressing and old underground metros when I could’ve been getting around on this baby.

Sigh. Maybe in another life.

(I realize these are called suspension railways, but that’s just boring.)
