Computer Chauffeur
© 1999 Brad T. Bowman/SkyTran Incorporated |
Relax and leave the driving to your
100% attentive computer chauffeur:
Once boarded, a SkyTran vehicle
becomes the passenger's private vehicle. The passenger decides
exactly where they want the computer chauffeur to take
them. No stopping at each and every rail station to let
some people off and new people on. No more concerns about
unsavory types riding along with you. A SkyTran vehicle
travels overhead on a monorail freeway, safely above all other
traffic and only exits this freeway to slow down and stop at
your selected destination station. SkyTran is personalized
Transit!
It is also important to note that your
computer chauffeur will never be distracted by billboards, cell
phone calls, conversation, reaching over to change music
stations, etc. Nor will your chauffeur ever be driving under the
influence of drugs or alcohol. |
If you still are skeptical about SkyTran and unsure
about such terms as "Offline," "Portals,"
"On-demand," "Non-stop," "3D Crossovers," etc.
we invite you to view our compelling Kiddy
Train analogy. Simple and definitely fun!
The above Photo Tour shows the generic
two place SkyTran vehicle. However, just as there are many
different types of vehicles on the roads, there will be numerous types
of SkyTran vehicles as described below.

Vehicle
Description |
Utility |
PUBLIC |
Two passenger |
This is the basic SkyTran vehicle that
comprises 90% of the fleet. It has room for two people and
their briefcases/small packages. |
Single passenger with bicycle carrier |
Designed to accommodate one passenger and
his/her bicycle inside the SkyTran vehicle. |
Single handicapped passenger in
wheelchair |
Specialized roll-in vehicle for
transporting people in their wheel chairs. |
Single passenger plus 250 pounds cargo |
Ideal for the single passenger traveling
with large baggage, such as someone going to or from an airport. |
Pure cargo vehicles with 500 pound
payload |
These vehicles would be available for any
individual or business who needs to quickly receive or deliver
up to 500 pounds of goods. |
Ambulance |
A fast way to get a patient right to a
hospital emergency room. Would feature full paramedic
monitoring equipment. |
PRIVATE |
Pure cargo vehicles with 500 pound
payload |
Companies such as UPS, FedEx, the Post
Office and numerous couriers would own and use these vehicles for
fast, efficient parcel pick-up. routing and delivery on the SkyTran
track system. |
Group and Family Travel
Any combination of the above vehicles can be joined electronically,
rather than mechanically, to travel along as if it was one single
vehicle. Occupants of all vehicles in such a convoy will all be able
to continuously communicate with each other.
SkyTran enables you to customize the capacity needed at any moment to the
size of your group. It is nonsense and very inefficient to own a large
vehicle that will seldom be used at its full capacity and at the same
time has occasional inadequate capacity.
