Operational plan

The SkyTran Personal/Mass Transportation System can ideally be implemented in one or more of the following fashions:
A) SkyTran instead of light rail	Cities currently planning to budget $30 million to $64 million per mile for light rail systems would do well to consider a SkyTran system for a fraction of the cost. SkyTran can move more people per day along that line at much faster, steady 100 mph speeds and create a positive income stream for the city (rather than a forever tax drain as currently needed to subsidize ridership on buses, light rail and trains).
B) Citywide, 3D SkyTran grids	The true utility of a SkyTran system shines once a city installs many parallel, interlinked, North-South and East-West SkyTran lines on a one mile grid spacing. Surprisingly, the total investment required is usually less than the amount proposed to install one short light rail line through just one section of the typical city! The result will be 100 mph commuting speeds from any spot in the city to any other spot. (A citywide SkyTran grid provides a huge benefit to all — not just those who live close to one light rail station and have a destination close to another light rail station.)
C) Special SkyTran service for stadium events	Cities with established SkyTran grids could add special SkyTran systems that can move huge numbers of people rapidly in and out of special event locations. Major sporting events, rock concerts, monster truck shows, etc. typically require moving 30,000 to 70,000 or more people into and out of the stadium area as fast as possible. A properly designed SkyTran Stadium system can have 50,000 people cruising their way home at 100 mph in less than 30 minutes! No more spending 20 minutes crawling in a car just to get out of the parking lot! SkyTran also means a 75% reduction in stadium land purchases formerly needed just for parking automobiles.
D) Multiple point SkyTran service	Specialized applications also exist for amusement parks and retail areas; between hotels and airports; and between attractions and parking. Because of SkyTran speeds, much lower outlying parking becomes cost effective. Close by, expensive, multiple story parking structures are no longer required. While Multiple Point Service is effective to help SkyTran become established, once city wide SkyTran 3D grids are established, they will be moot as people will prefer 100 mph SkyTran travel over cars and the associated parking problems to get directly to and from these areas.
E) Intercity SkyTran Routes	Again, States planning to budget huge amounts for high speed trains for Inter-city travel should consider SkyTran systems for a fraction of the cost. On-demand 100 mph travel will always beat 150-mph trains, which are running only on appointed schedules and are making several station stops in between. When two cities already have completed SkyTran grids installed, then SkyTran point-to-point, non-stop, 100 mph travel for distances up to 500 miles equates to airplane travel times.
