Solar powered Community Transit for a private public transport system

A never before used or implemented means to public transport, the Community Transit system designed by Dave Owsen lets you travel privately, in public. This private public transit system involves the use of private “Cells”. These Cells can accommodate two adults and two small children at a time. Using a monorail type rail system, these Cells cans be navigated using a touch screen interface through which commuters can select their preferred routes. It can also help transport goods from peer to peer, using containers instead of transport cells, allowing businesses to transport goods in a cheaper way.

So what powers the Community Transit? Solar energy! The Cells use an organic dye in their window material developed by the guys at MIT, that concentrate light to the surface edge, where it is captured and stored as electricity by the solar cells on the borders of the surface. With little chances of a gridlocked line, thanks to the two rail design that enables bypassing parked cells, this system will change the way we travel in future!
