I think this sort of system could work well in conjunction with existing light rail systems. Vancouver has the sky train system which is a super fast way to get to suburbs over 10 miles from the core. After exiting the train, most commuters hop a city bus to their neighborhood. Something like this could add dozens of self directed spur lines to existing systems. I would use it.
I don't see it as a visual problem. It's more likely to become an attraction in cities that attract tourists.
