SkyTran Incorporated is a new company with a simple goal:
We want to eliminate commuting hassles for all!
MagLev SkyTran vehicles are lightweight, streamlined, clean electric driven machines that enable commuters to safely travel at a steady 100 mph to and from work. What do people want?
If you could design an ideal transportation system, what key elements do you think it would need?
1. It must provide the convenience of a car.a. It must be waiting for you when you are ready to go.
b. It must take you straight to where you want to go with out stopping for anybody else or for any other traffic. This is what a car is supposed to be and would be IF there were no other cars on the road!2. It must be more affordable than a car.
3. It must be faster than a car.
4. It must be safer than a car.
5. It must use much less energy than a car and must eliminate the emissions of a car.
6. It must use less land than a car.People won't give up their cars unless something else comes along that is just as convenient. Any transportation system that does not meet these convenience requirements will not take significant ridership away from cars. Expensive, forever tax subsidized, "Mass" transit systems in cities all over the world are not working. Nobody wants to take 2 to 4 times more time than a car takes to get somewhere, let alone pay more money. Everybody loves mass transportation, however, because they hope all the other drivers use it and leave the roads less congested for them.
SkyTran is not a mass transportation system; it is a personal transportation system. Mass transportation systems which are designed to move groups of people at a time cannot meet the above requirements, only SkyTran can meet this ideal. SkyTran can move huge numbers of people all over a city for surprisingly low installation and operational costs.
This website will show you exactly what SkyTran Incorporated plans to do to accomplish the above goals and all about the important environmental, safety, time saving and cost advantages of the SkyTran System. There is a lot of material to read before you will fully grasp the practicality of the SkyTran Personalized Transit concept, so let's get going!
