What would SkyTran do in the case of a terrorism threat?
Because SkyTran is distributed, with hundreds of stations and dozens of lines in each direction, it is much harder to disable than conventional mass transit or even a freeway. Because only one or two riders are in each vehicle and don’t wait at the stations, an attack could hurt relatively few people – deterring potential attackers from choosing SkyTran as a target. Also, vehicles are secured to the guideways and automatically guided – so they can’t be hijacked or used in a dangerous way. See Safety and Security.
