Imagine for a moment that you've been asked to redesign our transportation system from the ground up. You have access to all existing technologies, but none of the constraints inherent in the existing system. Would your design include trains? Buses? Subways? The automobile?

So you've designed your new transportation system, but was it merely an academic exercise? Maybe not. If we can also develop a transition from the existing system to our new utopia, the result is utopia. I propose that we adopt this approach to transportation design. Shoot for the moon, then find a way to get there. That's the goal of this website. So let's get started.

First we identify our design criteria:

It should be inexpensive. The most passenger miles for the least amount of labor & materials.

It should be comfortable. Relaxing. An automated, stress free ride. No traffic, no crowded public vehicles. You ride in YOUR vehicle, to YOUR destination.

It should be magnitudes safer than the automobile, so safe that an accident would make front page news.

It should be fast and prompt. It should take you from point A to point B without transfers, without delay. it should pick you up at your doorstep and deliver you directly to your destination.

Environment friendly. No carbon emissions. No smog, no noise pollution. And for greatest flexibility, it should not tied to any one energy source, but instead be energy agnostic.

Capable of being retrofit over our existing transportation system.

What follows is a proposal for a new transportation system that fulfills all of the above criteria.
