Good idea but you lose a huge amount of capacity with the cubes. It would still be magnitudes more efficient than a car per person though.

I think if i remember right our city busses could sit 30 or 34. With the cubes i figure maybe 25?

Buses are designed to carry a lot more people than the number of seat they have since they allow for standing. Adding cubes would take away that standing space.
