Next time you get in an elevator and push the button, you are riding in a “vertical JPods”. JPods are a network of Horizontal-Elevators™.  

Pollution, congestion, and accidents are current traffic costs that can be recovered as profits and customer savings.

Building JPods networks, elevating the solar-powered mobility network above traffic, moving non-stop, converts 90% of urban traffic costs into profits and customer savings. 

JPods, the urban aspect of the Physical Internet®, provide on-demand mobility regardless of age, ability, or wealth.

Contract that allowed JPods to build solar-powered mobility networks in Shaxian, China. It is basically the law that Minnesota cities use to grant Right of Way to cable and power networks with Minnesota's regulation of theme park thrill rides:
