As convenient as a Car

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.
