METRORÍO SYSTEM FOR REGULAR TRANSPORT OF URBAN AND INTERURBAN PASSENGERS BY RIVER AND SEA

摘要

The invention relates to a Rivertube system for transporting urban and metropolitan passengers, by river and sea, which is similar to a metro system, using watercraft instead of trains, said watercraft travelling along the rivers and coasts of cities instead of on tracks and in tunnels. The system comprises an automatic docking system for the boats and closed or covered stops, built on the river or on the sea, with large floating platforms that enable passengers to get on and off the boats more quickly and with greater agility than in conventional metro cars.
