The idea is for it to be really lightweight (or one might say "very light") in order to make simpler and easier to install tracks that are then much cheaper to build. IIRC they would still have to relocate utilities when installing the tracks so they wouldn't end up being much cheaper, and they've run out of funding because they're based in the UK and the UK gov doesn't fund things.
