The world is approaching a transportation
crisis. The last century saw proliferation of the automobile, an
invention that brought about an unprecedented level of personal mobility
and convenience.
However that convenience is rapidly being eclipsed by
the problems of traffic jams, scarce and expensive parking, and unprecedented
levels of pollution.
What we'd like is to have the privacy and independence
of our car but without wasting our time stuck in traffic, trying to find
parking, or even waiting at traffic lights.
SkyTran fulfills these requirements.
- SkyTran's stations (portals) are located
frequently throughout the system.
- SkyTran is always waiting for you. Like a taxi, a
SkyTran car is yours for the whole trip. You just go up to a
car, wave your pass, and pick your destination. The car then
automatically merges onto the main guideway and quickly takes
you to your destination.
- SkyTran is elevated
and runs at two levels: north-south guideway at 20 feet and
east-west guideway at 26 feet. This eliminates intersections and
stop lights! Your SkyTran car travels nonstop all the
way.
- When you reach your destination you just get out
of the car. Like a taxi, there's no need to find parking.
SkyTran also empowers those who don't have the means
or ability to drive a car. The physically challenged, elderly and
adolescents will find new freedom and security for travel to work,
recreation or school.
