• Stations off main line
=> travel to destination without intermediate stop
=> high average speed
• On demand.
=> No timetables.
=> Negligible waiting time 24 / 7
=> Total time for travel kept at minimum.
• Short headways (2-3 secs) => high line capacity
• Light and slim guideways => low investment
• Driver-less and dedicated track => low operational cost

Advanced control system
• Distributed control– Limited system effect if there is a fault or problem
– Dynamic rerouting if there are disturbances
– System can be expanded without any performance degradation.
• Asynchronous control– Overall travel time vastly reduced in larger system at load
– Line capacity can be fully utilised
– No degradation at higher loads
• Dynamic moving block– Allows varying speed depending on
load conditions or track layout and still maintaining capacity
– Saves space in any queuingsituation
– Higher capacity than fixed block system
