3.
a track system enables freight trucks to pull multiple trailers, improving economics and reducing energy
consumption and emissions relative to present trucks
4.
heavy traffic is withdrawn from many roads providing a fast unobstructed route through built up areas
5.
the present rail infrastructure is more efficiently utilised making it economically justifiable
6.
a freight transport system is used which is compatible with modern business requirements and imposes far
less environmental impact than pure road haulage
7.
public transport capacity and flexibility is improved, thereby encouraging a mode change from cars to
utilised public transport, so saving energy as well as carbon emissions
8.
more frequent passenger services are achieved by using a larger number of smaller units, whilst in highly
congested locations it may be possible to link these in the form of a train to maximise capacity
9.
a more flexible passenger service is offered. Passengers can be picked up and dropped off at varied
locations and at flexible times minimising the need to change vehicles
