High Capacity Urban Transit Service Over Existent Right of Way

Commuter Rail Service

Now available, manually-controlled, MegaRail Commuter Rail trains offer fast (85-mph) commuter transport at significantly lower cost and time to service than conventional heavy rail commuter systems. The 16-passenger air-conditioned cars provide seats for all passengers. (No standing) The self-propelled coaches run on rubber tires that roll on continuous steel rail surface that are located inside enclosed rail tubes for all-weather operation. Passengers are assured a vibration-free, low-noise ride. The low-profile, stainless-steel guideway resembles a pair of small monorails and is always elevated over existent street and freeway rights-of-way so that there is no impact on street and road traffic. Use of existent railroad lines is not required and station locations are not restricted to along railroad lines. As a general rule, no additional right-of-way is required for MegaRail commuter rail system installation.

Future Automated Commuter Rail & Urban Passenger Services

Non-stop 65-mph urban, and 85-mph commuter rail passenger services with small (max 16 passenger and max 6 passenger), automated cars operate on a 24-hour, seven-day, on frequent schedule basis for no-wait travel. The smaller individual personal transport cars travel on a non-stop basis from local station to destination station without time-wasting and trip-time extending intermediate station stops typical of conventional city buses and light rail or monorail trains. Passengers are accommodated in spacious seats in quiet, smooth-ride cars. The larger 16-passenger cars offer frequently scheduled, 24-hour, seven-day service with stops only where passengers are waiting to be picked up or let off.

Future Urban Area Automobile Service

Standard private automobiles with passengers are transported on individual automated car ferries. Travel is on a non-stop basis from auto entry ramp to exit ramp without traffic delays typical of street and freeway travel. Passengers are accommodated in their own personal autos for a quiet and smooth ride. Drivers may relax, read, work, or even sleep during travel. Destination control and system exit is controlled by the auto driver. Passengers arrive at destination ramps in either their own cities or nearby urban areas ready to drive to their ultimate local destinations.

Future Urban area cargo container service

Automated cargo containers with up to three tons of cargo are transported on an individual basis. Travel is non-stop from origin terminal to destination terminal without traffic delays typical of street and freeway transport. Electric power is supplied from the guideway for refrigeration of perishable cargo. Cargo is provided a smooth ride on rubber tires operated on smooth, continuous steel rails.

Compatible with hi-speed inter-city MegaRail systems

All personal transport and car ferry MegaRail vehicles are compatible and inter operable with hi-speed inter-city MegaRail systems. Vehicles may transition freely between local systems and inter-city systems for seamless transportation between points in one city to points in another city. Inter-city passenger cars can access stations at various points in a city.

System offers future dualmode electric car service

The urban MegaRail system will enable users of future dualmode electric cars to travel from ramp to ramp and arrive at urban area exit ramps with fully charged batteries for local travel to and from destinations. Dualmode car cost is expected to compare favorably with current automobile cost.

Systems pay their own way without taxpayer support!
