Breecuda; economic performance 

The world's governments are increasingly reluctant to spend money on public transport. The factors are mainly due to high installation costs, and higher up-keep via subsidy once the system is in place, because of the high ongoing costs of operation beyond what can be raised by ticket sales.

New transport systems cannot be easily built due to the planning complexity with fitting the new systems into the current infrastructure, and the increasing cost of the land around city areas. Most alternative transports are less environmentally friendly than the cars they replace.

Terrain and population considerations make engineering roads and railways expensive to install and keep in running condition: as land must be extensively surveyed, purchased at market value – enormous in city areas, and surfaces laid with expensive steel and concrete. Bridges, tunnels, stations, service buildings and noise barriers must be constructed as well as substations or other infrastructure for an electric railway system.

Transport congestion is the biggest problem facing planners in every city in the world today. More and more cars are entering roads as people turn away from slow, unreliable public transport. Rail systems are packed to capacity regardless, and for increasing safety standards require more maintenance than ever before.Building new rail infrastructure can take up to a decade for even a short line.

Building new roads only encourages people to use their cars more frequently. The  completion of new raods thereby will creates bottle necks at other sites where the roads are less developed, leading to more traffic problems and jams. This usually leads to more expense to commuters as more toll booths fill up the highways.

TC Breecuda was conceived extending from average medium to long distance rail fares being inferior to airliners operating without subsidy. The design brings these low fares to the short range market along with jet speed.

All that is required for the TC-500 Breecuda is 80 metre by 80 metre platforms in city areas or similar-sized area on the ground in urban areas. These can be constructed above existing railway stations, building tops with clear approaches and routes planned by helicopter.

The Breecuda is designed to can fly into any area of the city to disperse the bulk of commuter numbers arriving in one place at about the same time. Platforms for the TC system will take only 7-12 months to construct: less than a third of the time it would take to build a new road.

The simplicity of TC navigation, refuelling and security facilities would be emplaced. Simultaneously, Breecudas bought tested with around 2-3 weeks of flights in crew familiarisation – who begin training when the system is ordered. The system will then enter operational service in either a fully automated, semi-automated or manual flight options.

If Hydrogen powered Breecudas are purchased there is the additional benefit of zero smog and pollution. TC is will make money for operators even with its low fares. The low maintenance types will save money in comparison to high-maintenance high-speed trains or Maglev units. Virtually all buyers are expected to be Governments augmenting public transport systems.

The Breecuda systems can be privatised or leased similar to how many countries rail services operate. The TC will rarely suffer vandalism eliminating the resultant costly damage bills.
