Endorsements

During the past year we have received a surprisingly large number of endorsement letters. People from all over the world are starting to grasp what a SkyTran Personalized MagLev Transit system can do to improve their cities in the new millennium. It becomes readily apparent to people who study all the details in our web site that SkyTran can and should be implemented as soon as possible.

A better, taxpayer-friendly solution is SkyTran. I've met with SkyTran's top scientists and executives because they have developed a cutting-edge transportation system that's ready for deployment. SkyTran holds real promise for Arizona's economic development and financial future. The best thing about SkyTran is that it is an efficient transit system that is good for the environment. All SkyTran needs to proceed is permission to use the airspace right-of-way above existing streets. SkyTran is the only system that can serve our transportation needs without taxpayer subsidies. Arizona needs fiscally conservative, financially responsible, market-driven solutions to its transportation problems. SkyTran is the solution. Arizona State Senator Scott Bundgaard

I have seen several transportation options and the best solution for the Phoenix metro area is SkyTran^®. SkyTran is a tax-free, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year solution to our commuter traffic problems. We need visionaries to see the possibilities for a cleaner tomorrow not individuals who want outdated technology that will not be used by the citizens. SkyTran is the solution, which is based, in a competitive market-driven solution that will enhance our transportation system. SkyTran will help transportation future of Phoenix and the state of Arizona. Colin Barleycorn, Mayor of Litchfield Park

We in Phoenix are so frustrated with the gridlock that we are willing to swallow anything that anybody (politician) tells us is going to make it better. Unfortunately, this has manifested itself in the acceptance of Light Rail. I, myself, believed it was the only way until I saw the plans and time frame for the project. I think that SkyTran is the next logical step to dealing with the commuter problems we all face and would like to get involved with helping you to make it a reality. L. K., Phoenix, AZ

This SkyTran system just blows me away! It seems to have anything and everything that would make transportation more convenient and affordable. It truly seems that the 21st century has arrived! Currently here in Phoenix, the city is proposing a trolley system. I was all for that idea until I saw what SkyTran is all about. Unfortunately, the City of Phoenix isn't offering SkyTran as an option in this election. That is why I am going to vote 'no' for Transit 2000 and hopefully, the SkyTran system will be discovered here in the Valley of the Sun! S. L., Phoenix, AZ

I like it! We should be using 21st Century technology solutions rather than 18th century technology. K. P. B., Northfield, MN

The current Phoenix Transit 2000 ballot proposition enumerates all the congestion problems we face today -- then proposes an outdated non-solution. Wish we could vote on SkyTran. To me your ideas present a private sector solution to public transportation, like UPS and FedEx did for (to?) the postal service. And is it ever time! S. C., Phoenix, AZ

As far as transportation planning goes, I think the Transit 2000 proposal is for a thing of the past. I would much rather see something like SkyTran put into practice. C. F., Phoenix, AZ

I have been working in the field of transportation since 1976. In that time I have done extensive research on transportation options, particularly public transit. It is clear to me that the traditional forms of mass transit--buses and trains--cannot serve more than a very small fraction of travel needs because these forms are time consuming and inefficient. The auto dominates because it provides the kind of fast and convenient service essential in a world where time is the most precious resource. Buses and trains will never win back travel market share from the auto. Only an option that offers superior service can hope to displace the auto. As a concept, SkyTran has all the attributes required for a technology that could displace the auto. All that remains to be determined is whether people will use it. This requires a market test. Inasmuch as SkyTran is offering to conduct this test without the necessity of a government subsidy, there is no good reason for government officials to deny permission to use the currently unused air space over existing rights-of-way. For these reasons, I can enthusiastically endorse SkyTran's nontax, advanced transportation solution for meeting the urban travel needs of the 21st century. No name or EMail address left

I live in AZ and will be voting no on Prop 2000. I think this idea is much better for AZ. P. P., Phoenix, AZ

I think anyone who doesn't at least consider Skytran is not using their common sense. This is a safe, convenient, and cost effective way to travel. The major cities of the world have got to realize that they need something new, a way to break the mold. I will be voting down all alternative forms of transportation and voicing my thoughts to others. J. B., Phoenix, AZ

SkyTran's idea is much more effective and efficient that Arizona's proposed "Light Rail" system. I'll be voting NO on Prop 2000 but a definite YES when SkyTran succeeds in arriving in Arizona! Nice Job! D. A., Phoenix, AZ

I'm very impressed with the idea and the technology. As an urban commercial Realtor, it corresponds beautifully with redevelopment of the central cities. I would love to see Ohio State University and the city of Columbus express interest in doing a pilot project. M. G., Columbus, OH

Is this only a concept or does it actually exist anywhere? If it is real, where are the actual pictures? Seems like a scam to me - but if it is real and in place some where.... then I might be an advocate. M. H., Phoenix, AZ (See: Pie-in-the-SkyTran )

Plans are underway here in the south San Francisco Bay Area for a BART connector service from Union City to San Jose. Plans call for using heavy rail. It seems an ideal corridor for SkyTran service. No name or EMail address left

You've got it. I'll present this idea to our community leaders. We're voting for a mono-rail test track in November. Is SkyTran all weather? Can it produce electricity going down hill? I need to keep studying the science. Please EMail me. D. M., Dillon, CO

I used to take the bus to work - 5 days, 8 hours. Then I switched to a compressed work week, 9-hour days with every other Friday off. The bus commute time is THREE TIMES the driving time (1 hr 15 min vs 25 min), and the length of the day working and commuting was more than I liked. Sky Tran sounds ideal. I would certainly leave my car once the SkyTran system was available. It would greatly lengthen the life of my car as well. J. R., Phoenix, AZ

We in Phoenix are facing yet another vote on a $4 billion transit plan in March, featuring buses and light rail. I grew up here and that's the only transit alternative I've ever heard proposed by city fathers. Private alternatives are never seriously considered. SkyTran is exciting and seems ideal. I have often wondered if a system that rivals the car for convenience could be invented, and you seem to have the answer. I intend to write to my city councilman and the mayor (who is against SkyTran) to promote SkyTran. I may also get involved with the organization that's fighting the new bus-and-tax initiative. J. R., Phoenix, AZ
