Cellular Mass Transit For Austin

Cellular Mass Transit (CMT) will

   1. Cut travel time in half for many trips in the 15 to 25 mile range.
   2. Cut wait time on circulator routes from 30 minutes down to 12 or less
   3. Improve comfort and security at transfer points

Working people will be able to use public transit to get from any home to any job in a reasonable amount of time.

Riders will use a combination of bus and taxi to get to work.
