Features: The severe transportation issues in the United States stem from excessive reliance on oil, coupled with congestion, casualties, and environmental pollution, making the entire transportation situation precarious. Most of the current so-called measures and construction plans to improve transportation are superficial, short-sighted, or have hidden agendas. The underground vacuum tube transportation system proposed in this book—“America Metro”——allows maglev trains to travel in an obstacle-free vacuum with no friction, no curves or hills, no destruction of public or private property, no use of gasoline, and only a minimal amount of electricity, unaffected by weather conditions. After shifting people's travel and goods transportation to this safer, faster, and more efficient underground vacuum tube system, traffic accidents and casualties would also decrease. This system combines the advantages of cars, trains, and airplanes while overcoming all their shortcomings, making it nearly a perfect transportation system. The United States must either prepare for the arrival of the "post-petroleum era" or endure the impending suffering. This book aims to inspire people to take action in building the underground vacuum tube transportation system, ensuring that America's disaster does not occur.
