Google maps are one of the largest most successful services on the planet. The Google transit will take this service directly into the urban environment, giving the public transport system an increased level of demand based flexibility The project is aimed at changing the way in which people use the public transport within the local community, adjusting people’s perception of what public transport is, by making the Google Transit system better, faster, and more adaptable to our rapidly changing world. It will not have the restrictions of rails and power lines which constantly hamper the reach of current vehicles. It breaks with convention, moving into a new cheaper driverless 24-7 operation. The vehicle is constantly available to passengers to go where and when they needs to. Rapid evolution of battery and driveline technology means that the Transit will measure its recharge in minutes instead of hours, using ultra convenient wireless charge bays, accessing the grid when the cost of power is low, keeping operational costs low, allowing for savings to be passed onto the user. When you want it, where you want it for a fraction of the cost.
