The invention relates to municipal or commuter transport, both rail (tram and subway) and trackless (bus, trolleybus) transport.The objective is to simplify the rapid transit system, improve its reliability and throughput, and increase the passenger traffic it can accommodate.There are sections of the rapid transit system (FIG. 10) allowing for the movement of adjacent vehicles within a group along both tracks: some vehicles from the group along one track, and other vehicles from this group along the other track. There are crossing loops on the tracks intended for groups of vehicles moving in opposite directions. Areas of intersection with other rapid transit systems, where the traffic is heavier, are located on its sections providing a possibility for the adjacent vehicles to move within a group along both tracks, and the areas of intersection between the rapid transit system and other rapid transit systems, where the traffic is lighter, are located on the crossing loops intended for vehicle groups moving in opposite directions.Other applications of novel features and connections between them are also described.
