SYSTEM OVERVIEW

As the NOWAITTRANSIT system has many new solutions and few references, if any, it can be challenging to comprehend. This section is an extract of the NOWAITTRANSIT innovation:

- No waiting - Fast and punctual travelling – Strict on time

- 1/5 of investment cost compared to a conventional subway – Continuous system spreads the passenger and vehicle load – Low-weight structure

- 1/5 of operational cost compared to a conventional subway – Simple construction based on recognized railway technology -  Unique maintenance procedures, during operation

- Low energy consumption due to low weight and efficient energy preservation – No mechanical breaking, just transformation of kinetic energy into potential energy and back to kinetic energy – Feasible to run the whole system on solar cells

- Environmental friendly/ sustainability – No emissions when powered by green prime power

- High capacity

- Controllable passenger flow – No instantaneous passenger amount peaks – Narrower platforms, fewer escalators and elevators

- Low internal and external noise – High passenger comfort

- Scenic view – Elevated structure

- High safety – Connection between cars make collision impossible – No possibility of people falling or jumping in front of cars from station platform

- Immediate transfer from one line to another at transport nodes

- Short set-up time – Standardized construction elements

- Short time from decision to commercial operation

- Possible disassembly – Preservation of investment cost – Residual value

- No need for separate maintenance and repair facilities

- No drivers – less cost and dependence on human factors

- Offering a non-polluting solution to the congested large city transportation market segmen
