ABSTRACT:
The novel mass transit system comprises at least two stations, each having a rotatable platform. An endless stationary track loops around the rotary platforms. A plurality of small cars form an endless tensioned train for moving over the track. Each car is driven exclusively by frictional forces developed between the driving platform and the cars. These frictional forces result from direct mechanical engagement between the tensioned endless train and the platforms when the cars are at the stations.
