ABSTRACT:
The mass transit system comprises at least two train stations. Each station has at least one revolving platform whose upper surface defines a curvilinear track. Stationary tracks are positioned between the platforms. An endless flexible member is driven by the revolving platforms at a constant speed. The flexible member carries cars which together form an endless train. The cars are driven by the flexible member and ride over the stationary tracks and over the curvilinear tracks.
