shweeb technology

I like the Shweeb system a lot, why ? Well firstly they have built one which says a lot.


The big advantage of this kind of system is that the monorail is very very minimal hardly any visible intrusion which is a big objection with a monorail concept. This should have the lowest unit capital cost of any PRT (or road ) system which is a big plus for 
 Also a cycle lane has the reputation of being quite. 




I do like this system and wish it all the best.


I think the elevated cycle lane concept does have the advantage that by cycling to the nearest station you get a much larger what they call service radius ( area serviced from the station ).
That said the Aeorider concept originally had attachments to the bike which let you join the monorail at stations ( technically making it dual mode but who's fussing) so getting the best of both worlds.
Also with the elevated cycle lanes you don't have to have a guy who can move empties from destination stations to source stations. 
To explain in a rush hour everyone wants to go from A to B so you need to move empty ones from B to A. In PRT this happens automatically, with a cycle lane system unless your doing a tour (round trip ) you end up with lots of pods left at B. So either you provide lots of parking ( the car solution ) or shift empty machines back. This isn't a big problem you just have some caretakers who can pull a small train of empty pods back. 


Any way enough fussing, GO Shweeb!
