Good idea but it has some critical flaws. IF for what ever reason the smaller transport train can't start its run it will screw up the system entirely.

Well, if they ever manage to construct this, I'm sure the system itself will be screw-proof.

How is this better? It seems as if every train you board, it only takes you to the next station where you would have to wait for another train to come again and move you to the next? Seems like an even bigger waste of time!! Think about it!!..

  Dude when you go in the little train you can then go to the big train and stay there as long as you like untill you get to your stop. Thats when you go back in the little train and get of at your station......

  I don't see any indication in the video that you could go from the little train to the big one and back. They look completely separate to me, and the little train is a short hopper just piggy-backing on a long haul.

  BlackEyeVision is correct. The idea is passengers would board the train and then departing passengers would enter the car from the rear of the train. http://softhunder.blogspot.com/2010/04/train-that-never-stops-at-station.html
