Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9958387A1] A mass transit apparatus for an endless travelling path is known, consisting of consecutive vehicles, which are articulately connected in an endless configuration so that said vehicles can be folded to a side by side position from a linear position. In order to improve the speed reduction or acceleration ratio said vehicles connected to each other by means of distance beams (10) are pivotably connected to said vehicles (1) at points located at both end parts of said vehicles. Horizontal steering means (4, 15) are arranged to cause said vehicles to pivot horizontally from said linear position to said side by side position and in reverse along certain parts of said endless travelling path.
