Mass Transit is the transportation for tomorrow. Mass transit is able to commute a large amount of people in a certain period of time with a pre-designed controlled speed.

Ideally, the tourist should be able to visit all destinations within a city with mass transit which integrated with walking and cycling to create a wonderful travel experience.
