Abstract of the Disclosure A rapid transit system which transports people and articles including automobiles, small trucks and the transit routes. The transit vehicle is a unitary, self- supporting structure which is transported and guided by spaced sets of wheels mounted and turning on pylons. The transit vehicle is compartmented into cubicles in one rigid structure which could be approximately 21 feet wide by 60 feet high and 1,500 to 2,000 feet long. The pylon construction supports the transit vehicle above the right of way property, typically at a minimum height of approximately 60 feet. Each pylon includes an upper power frame assembly having a large wheel for supporting and four smaller wheels for guiding the transit vehicle. A base frame mounted between the pylon and its foundation is provided when necessary to compensate for changes in transit vehicle over the pylons. These may be external motors driving through the propulsion wheel shaft or the propelling rotor may be integral with the propulsion wheel driving against stator coils framed from the bear- ing hub structure. Guide wheels on opposite sides of the of the power frame of the pylon are geared to turn at the same tread velocity as the propulsion wheel and absorb the wind side load of the vehicle. The power frame may include transformers, rectifiers, power controls, cir- cuit breakers and other control a highly fail-safe operating equipment responsive to the networks (remote) central control system. The transit vehicle is and elong- ated truss which would extend form the pylon to another is a cantilevered fashion. Thus the transit vehicle may engage with the next pylon approximately 300 feet away providing the only bridge for the vehicle as it proceeds along the route. The system would include local routes that would eventually become integrated with branch and regional routes within the system. The pylons may be individually mounted on mobile trucks to roll in groups on tracks or rails to be moved sideways to simultaneously move the transit vehicle in this fashion. The pylong may be re- moved and be replaced as required by the transit vehicle itself so that the transit may continue uninterrupted.
