ADDITIONAL SkyTran MARKET INTEREST

Other regions/markets are interested in SkyTran implementation.  Although there's been no active marketing, inquiries about SkyTran implementation have been positive.  Once a demonstration system is operational, demand will be explosive.  The following list represents areas that have expressed interest in a SkyTran system.


US · Atlanta · Dallas · Denver · Fresno · Orlando · Oakland · Phoenix · Seattle · St. Paul  (US cities are generalized by region)

International · Australia · Bahrain · Bangladesh · Chile · China · Italy · Hong Kong . Mexico . Singapore

 
· In Manila, a society of industrial engineers is anxious to obtain the Philippine rights to SkyTran.  Since the Highway infrastructure is minimal, most passengers will go right from their bicycle or cart - into a SkyTran, leapfrogging the bulk of the automobile era.  This would be the case in many developing countries.

· In Italy, an architectural engineering firm hired by the Italian Government to develop a plan for urban renewal has settled on SkyTran as the technology of choice for a surprising reason, historical preservation.  Most of the roads in the ancient cities were constructed long before the invention of the motorcar.  With SkyTran in place, the original roads can be left in place and the city's character can remain unaltered while giving their citizens the most advanced high speed travel at the lowest possible cost.

· The US EPA has suggested a possible alliance with the Institute of Metropolitan Planning in Juarez, Mexico to build a test system.  This would be located over the Rio Grand between the border cities of Juarez and El Paso, Texas where many thousands walk and drive daily to work.

· In order to comply with the Clean Air Act, states must design a State Implementation Program (SIP) in the effort to reduce NOx, VOC, acid rain, etc.  When the EPA approves the program, the state then receives its SIP Credits in the form of Federal Highway Funds.  According to scientists at the EPA, once SkyTran's test track is operating and empirical data can be provided, this could be worth hundreds of millions of dollars in pollution credits in each state.  This is aside from the benefits and  profits directly related to SkyTran. 

. Hong Kong has just allocated $28 BILLION towards mass transit, the bulk of which will be for yet undetermined rail solutions.

· Currently all other forms of public transportation operates with no profit. This has historically been a roadblock to mass transit's success. Without profit there's little impetus for innovation, relying instead on old technology and government subsidies. SkyTran technology has the ability to improve the overall transportation conundrum while radically improving service, at much lower costs.  At a fee of 10 cents per passenger mile SkyTran is very profitable. Even at 20 cents per mile it is still more economical then any other form of transportation in operation or planned.

IMPLEMENTATION AND IPO

In late 1999, SkyTran initiated a campaign to obtain the needed outside capital to begin the construction of a .25 to .35 mile long full scale operational test track with all the working functions of the SkyTran system.  The test track construction, testing and all related administrative functions for the year 2000 will cost approximately $3,327,000.  Ideally, the full scale test track will be part of the initial implementation of a SkyTran system.

SkyTran Management envisions that in the second quarter of 2001, SkyTran will perform an Initial Public Offering (IPO) to obtain a capital base for continued operations, construction and additional SkyTran implementations.

Please contact an executive of SkyTran if you believe you can help fund the long term capital requirements of SkyTran.
