Swyft Cities is here to revolutionize transportation and real estate! An innovative gondola system combines autonomous pods w/ lightweight, fixed cable infrastructure to move passengers efficiently w/ significantly lower cost-per-mile & less emissions than traditional options.👇
@aaron_lubeck I see a lot of land that could be put to better use than laying tracks that get used twice an hour. Elevated transit could be built using a fraction of the land and at a fraction of the cost.
@Chicago2100@NickGarzilli Capacity is typically 3000 passengers per direction per hour, can upgrade to 10,000 for high traffic locations. Average speed is 26mph (light rail averages 16mph because of frequent stops)
@NickGarzilli@Chicago2100 Why take up all that land? Elevated autonomous transit doesn't compete for land use -- much cheaper to build & operate too
@MillburnDrysdal@ATLNewsFirst Autonomous vehicles don't have to be restricted to roads. Smart gondolas are on-demand like an Uber in the air: all nonstop trips with a fraction of the infrastructure of rail. And doesn't compete for scarce road space.
@allgarbled I would posit that very few people actually WANT to drive in traffic. It's a lack of viable alternatives. Transit don't work in most cities.
@bilalmahmood@JTLonsdale There's room for both. High density areas need a high density solution. Mid density needs either cheap tunnels or even cheaper cable solutions (Swyft Cities/Whoosh)
@WhooshTransport Exciting developments for what Time magazine calls "One of the Greatest Place in the World"🚡Queenstown will be even greater with Whoosh.
The Whoosh system is moving closer to reality in Queenstown NZ🚡Local business leaders are confident about right-of-ways and funding to create "a wide network, with many small stations and point-to-point journeys without transfers"
Good news for Queenstown NZ. Yesterday the Mountain Scene reported that momentum is building for a solution to the traffic problems in the community. The path to glide over gridlock with Whoosh is taking shape. #urbantransportation#urbantransport#transportation#queenstown #newzealand #kiwitech
@ATLsupremacist@NickGarzilli@ChariotLiving All vehicles and stations are continuously monitored. Vehicles can be remotely disabled if an unauthorized or unwelcomed passenger boards. All illegal or unwelcomed behavior will be dealt with immediately.
@NickGarzilli@ChariotLiving 💯We easily accommodate a roll-on/roll-off wheelchair plus attendant with no need to change seating. ADA-compliance has always been a priority for us🚠
