Low cost public transport 

TC-150 and TC-500 Breecuda

TC Breecuda offers:
  1. High-speed transport that is cheap to configure and build into cities’s.
  2. High-speed transport that is safe, quiet, clean and cheap for consumers.
  3. Increased business and industrial capacities and efficiencies due to increased worker availability.
  4. Increased productivity and health of workers due to lower commuting times.
The primary users will be towns and cities where population growth has outstripped the areas required infrastructure.

What cities are not interested in high speed transport? These centres require many people to help them operate efficiently yet the bulk of workers cannot afford to live in the vicinity of the CBD.

Breecuda brings these workers into town without clogging freeways or already busy railway lines.  The types operate in airspace which is seldom used, between 6000 and 18,000 feet for long distance flights, or much lower for short distance journeys.


Breecuda flight times, per stop, over 100 nautical miles
