CYBERTRAN
Cybertran is a unique passenger rail system that works more like an elevator than a traditional system. Rather than running on a defined schedule, a computer-controlled system responds to passenger needs in real time. Passengers input their destinations at a station, and after a small amount of time has passed, vehicles arrive to deliver the passengers directly to their destinations. Multiple small vehicles and off-line stations allow for this level of flexibility and responsiveness.
