Slick Segmented Trains

This Mag Lev Train Proposes Private Carriages for Groups of Passengers

— December 25, 2015 — Autos
Business ideas like Uber and the imminent introduction of autonomous vehicles make the notion of the private carriage an enticing one for future trains. Designer Phillip Seagram has come up with an idea for a new type of public transit that appeals to lovers of everyday luxury and ultimate convenience.

First of all, this concept is for the 2065 MagLev Split Unit Train, which will increase the efficiency and eco-friendly factors of urban and suburban transportation. Polarized magnets will take the place of tracks for fast, friction-free and fuel-free movement. But what about the personalization aspect?

The length of this train would be segmented by private carriages that easily detach and reconnect throughout the cars' journeys, enabling families and friends to travel in isolation. What's more, it's suggested that these separate units could make stops independently and rejoin other modules for more streamlined movement.
Trend Themes
1. Private Carriages - The concept of private carriages in trains presents an opportunity for luxury and convenience in future transportation.
2. Maglev Split Unit Train - The development of the MagLev Split Unit Train technology offers a more efficient and eco-friendly solution for urban and suburban transportation.
3. Segmented Train Journeys - The introduction of segmented train journeys allows for personalized travel experiences and more streamlined movement.
Industry Implications
1. Transportation - The transportation industry could explore the potential of private carriages in trains to enhance the overall passenger experience and cater to different needs.
2. Technology - The technology industry can focus on developing and implementing the MagLev Split Unit Train technology to revolutionize urban and suburban transportation systems.
3. Hospitality - The hospitality industry can leverage the concept of segmented train journeys to provide unique and personalized travel experiences for their guests.
