New concept for metropolitan areas called "Transit Expressway" has been proposed by Westinghouse Elec Corp, Pittsburgh, Pa; automated system is designed around use of 20-passenger vehicle, traveling at speeds up to 50 mph on trespass-free aerial closed-loop expressway; electrically driven aluminum cars will operate in trains of 1-10 units each, and would handle 5000-14,000 riders/hr in given direction; trains will be automatically dispatched and computer controlled; fare collection and change making will also be automated.
