Ingress/Egress Ergonomics

© 1999 Brad T. Bowman/SkyTran Incorporated SkyTran will be much easier to get in and out of than an automobile.  First of all, when boarding at a SkyTran Offline Portal, the SkyTran seat height is ergonomically positioned to be exactly at standard chair height above the ground.  Also, one will not have to lower themselves over a ridge and down into the seat as required in the typical automobile.  And unlike a car, the hinged door will not be partially blocking the entryway as a person places his legs inside to sit down (or swings them out to stand up).
