Example map relative to calculations at the left
- Red lines are Distance Markers not routes
- Approximately 15 miles of rail
- Rails would be constructed in similar areas
- Typical fare would be less than driving and parking
- Access density will expand providing greater payback and lower costs (Moore's Law applied to intelligent devices)
