Example map relative to calculations at the left
- 30 2 mile red lines indicate distances
- 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)

We are currently planning demonstration installation on South Livermore Avenue just above Pacific Street (blue area circled on map).
