The lads and I travelled on one of these in Nancy when we wanted to get from the Ibis to town for a meal without using the bikes.

Brilliant bit of kit...rubber tyres, either driver steered or guided by a centre rail like a Scalextric although not a slot.
Very quiet and went round corners in the city streets like a mini. Loops at the ends of the run meant it just went back facing the same way, the driver didn't change ends.
A few French towns use the same system...Clermont-Ferrand's are particularly attractive...look on YouTube.
