ADVISORY...for Thursday (April 10)

--(BUSINESS WIRE)

    What: A launch demonstration and media briefing to introduce
        SkyWeb Express, a newly-developed urban transportation system.

        Developed by Twin Cities-based Taxi 2000, the invention is a
        system of automated vehicles that ride a network of elevated
        mini-monorails. SkyWeb Express passengers are able to travel
        in privacy and comfort via an automatic, non-stop trip
        directly to the station of their choice. The system is
        designed so that cars wait for passengers versus passengers
        having to wait for the cars.

        Now that development is complete, the company will market its
        solution to communities around the world. SkyWeb Express'
        benefits include low cost, easy installation and operation,
        scalability and energy efficiency. Experts agree that the new
        transit system could eliminate the need for subsidies for
        urban transit and could greatly alleviate traffic congestion
        in metro areas.
