2. Origins

3. Introduction High oil prices! Climate change Distorted economics Therefore Change the form of our transportation system.

4. The Concept 100% solar powered Above the streets Safe to bike & walk Like car, 1-6 people On demand=no waiting Non-stop from origin to destination Faster than Corvette across town

5. Solar Transportation in Sweden

6. Train Station Commercial district Football Stadium Hospital Loop Technology Park University The Route

7. Uppsala Hospital Loop
