Characteristics of trains and JPods connections:

• By the time the train unloads, nearly 1/3rd of passengers have left the station via a JPods vehicle.
• Before the next train arrives, 2 minutes later, all passengers of left the station.
• When you are waiting to catch a train, do you sometimes wait more than 2 minutes?
• Parallel loading stations (versus in-line illustrated in video) and additional loading berths would further reduce exit times.

Major differences between JPods networks and mass transportation are:

• JPods networks provide inexpensively feeder networks to existing mass transit facilities.
• JPods networks do not require you to know which platform, color train or direction required. You get in a vehicle, look up the web site of where you wish to go, and the network takes you there.
• JPods vehicles travel overhead. You cannot get hit by a moving JPods vehicle.
• JPods vehicles use about 85% less energy per passenger mile.
  

  Transport type:	Energy		Units
  JPods vehicles:	127		Watt-Hours per passenger mile (WHppm).
  Trains:	900		Watt-Hours per passenger mile (WHppm).
  Cars:	1,033		Watt-Hours per passenger mile (WHppm).
  Buses:	1,246		Watt-Hours per passenger mile (WHppm).
  Freight trains:	10*		Watt-Hours per passenger mile (WHppm).
  	*CSX commercials note that freight trains "move a ton 423 miles on one gallon of fuel". This is because, like JPods vehicles, freight trains do not repetitively stop and start, they carry a lot of mass relative to the mass of the train. Cars, buses and passenger trains typically move more than a ton of vehicle per passenger, stopping and starting many times.

• JPods vehicles operate on your schedule.
• JPods networks operate 24 x 7.
• JPods networks and automobiles have about 4 to 12 times the capacity per rail/lane as trains. As a way to see this take an hour and count the number of people passing:
  • on a railroad track in trains.
  • in one lane of a freeway.
• JPods networks apply Six Sigma concepts, focusing on the quality of the trip. Buses and trains illustrate that you cannot manage quality in a batch.
• JPods networks do not provide the terrorist or disease risks of massively accumulating people in a confined space.
