This is a new system of moving goods around the city of Vancouver by using the existing skytrain network as the primary means of transport. The container is the key to the entire system as it will be carried by the skytrain and received by secondary transport at various stations. These will be small electric and pedal powered vehicles which will pull and carry them to their final destinations. This system will run 100% free of fossil fuel dependence and will help Vancouver transition through and beyond peak oil while growing a strong, sustainable, and local economy.

Despite the new expansion and opening of the Canada Line, Vancouver’s transit system still has many aspects of inefficiency that is due to preliminary organization/treatment of each means of transport as seperate entities instead of a whole. The ideal Transport system is holistic hence efficient, and we will eventually get there, but should it take as long as it is taking?
