While vehicles would definitely be great, I'm afraid this is out of the current technical possibilities.
(But if/when Cyan releases tools Vehicles would be great: Trams, boats, planes, spaceships, Stargates... everything

)

Trams are just polished up animations, lol. Like elevators, railcars, and whatever.

Tweek has an idea for how the Pahts nexus could work, but I'm not part of your dev team so I dunno if you guys are interested in seeing it.

Are you saying they'd be easy to do? I haven't heard about any kind of easy animation that could be done so far.

A simple tram shouldn't be too hard. Let me check with the expert and I'll get back to you on that

EDIT: Definately possible to do vehicles: Zandonii (Airstream)
If you watched a video on COBBS a while back, someone got a driveable boat in Relto.
So now you just need to figure out how...

hooo right, I remember about that. I never saw the actual video but I had read about it.
Too bad a tutorial (or at least a quick explanation) wasn't posted...
Because boats are definitely something that's definitely in the plans for the city. It'd been discussed in the past, so I made sure the rivers and the canal are large enough to fit two small boats.
The zandoni is cool but has anyone any idea how to implement that? At any rate I was more thinking about vehicles that go on determined paths, like the teledahn bucket or the Riven maglevs.

ATCAnim. It's (mostly) on CoWiki.

Vehicles in Uru are currently onle half-assed implemented. The Zandoni and the Relto boat both are a sort of replacement avatars, where your actual avatar remains on the actication point. I haven't seen anyone actually
riding a vehicle

Besides, if vehicles were already possible, then Cyan wouldn't have put them on the Blue Sky list
