Where would you park a dualmode MicroRail vehicle if going to downtown?
At stations at or near downtown, the MicroRail system will allow MicroRail dual mode cars to stop at PRT stations where the occupants can exit the car and have it automatically moved to a system storage facility. The cars can then be recalled to any PRT station by the owners for boarding for the next trip. The service would be equivalent to automated valet parking. The storage facilities would be located outside, but near the downtown or major activity center too enable rapid delivery of stored cars when called. Automatic car storage and retrieval can be provided that moves cars from MicroRail passenger stations where drivers would leave the cars. They would be stored nearby storage facilities outside of the downtown. Cars could be recalled by their owners at any MicroRail station for reboarding. The car designs can be made to allow such car exits and entries at the same gates as PRT cars. In order to implement this automated valet parking, the MicroRail dualmode cars have the same sid
