TOMORROW'S MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION
DIE VERKEHRSMITTEL VON MORGEN
The future means of transportation shall produce no exhaust gases and no noise. Monorails and, magnetic or air-suspended trains driven by linear motors and maybe by atomic power are under consideration. Various new means of transportation operate without personnel. Their operation will be monitored and controlled by electronic computers. A closer look of the new systems either in the planning or developmental stage let them seem way off and not as appealing and flexible as the transportation in the individual car. Therefore means of faster transportation of individual cars on intersection free highways will be sought, and better bus transportation.
