Example map relative to
calculations at the left
- 6 two mile black 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)
