Summary of 10x Advantages of JPods Building in Mexico

1. • traveling anywhere in Mexico City (any city)
• anytime of day, seven days per week
• non-stop
• without traffic
• without pollution
• without noise
• and, with a certainty of travel time.

2. Profit by building what you imagine.

3. JPods cost per
passenger-mile:
•10x less than cars.
•25x less than trains.
•50x less than buses.
Profit by cutting costs per passenger-mile by 10x.

4. Energy per passenger-mile
cars 3447 BTUs = 1.01 kW-hr
buses 4118 BTUs = 1.21 kW-hr
trains 2520 BTUs = 0.75 kW-hr.
JPods 212 BTUs = 0.062 kW-hr
Convert 90% of wasted energy into profits.
Stop moving two tons to move a person in start-stop traffic.

5. Achieve 10x better safety.
Roads death-rate: 106/million.
JPods injury-rate 0.2/million.
Similar to JPods:
• Morgantown, WV Personal Rapid
Transit (PRT) network, similar to
JPods, delivered 110 million
injury-free passenger-miles. In
that same period, 1.7 million
Americans died on roads.
• Theme park (ASTM-F24) injury-
rate is 0.2 per million.

6. Build 10x reduction in congestion.
• Go where you want.
• Go when you want.
• Known travel time.
• 24x7.
• As with the Internet, JPods
will start in niches. An airport
example is provided.
Traffic congestion costs the
people of Mexico City:
• $5 billion/year in congestion.
• 55 hours of peak
congestion/week.
• Must buy a car at $8,600
year of costs.

7. Provide 10x Better Service.
• Batch process.
• People wait for trains and
buses.
• Transfers compound waste.
• Treat people as individuals and
families.
• JPods vehicles wait for people.
• Origin to destination, non-stop.
• Safer, no traveling with strangers.
• Equal access regardless of age
or ability.
• Communicate in most languages.

Provide 10x more flexible loading.
Roll-in and roll-out of vehicles.
Herringbone Stations -
flexible loading times.
In-line Stations
greater throughput
capacity

9. Build 10x More Stations and cross connect them all.
• Network capacity is primarily
determined by the number of stations.
• Small footprint, low cost stations,
allows many more stations.

10. Achieve 10x more capacity than buses and trains.
Seat Capacity per Hour (not all seats are filled):
Seats per Vehicle Headway Seats per Hour
Bus 0-50, 50 used 5 mins 600
Light Rail 0-200, 200 used 10 mins 1200
Automobiles 1-6, 4 used 1-6 secs 4800
JPods 1-6, 4 used 3 secs 4800
JPods 1-6, 4 used 1 secs 14400
JPods capacity:
•5x cars.
•10x trains.
•20x buses.
Empty tracks between
trains determines train
network capacity, not
how many people fit in a
train.
This “seat” capacity/hr
illustrates the counter-intuitive
kanban fact that small packet
networks have greater
capacity that batch processes
such as buses and trains.
JPods apply Just-in-Time, Six
Sigma, to the mobility
process.
JPods would build multiple
rails before reaching technical
capacity for service reasons.

11. Reduce capital cost by 10x.
JPods networks
costs about $10
million/mile.
Light Rail costs
$100+ million/mile.
Hart Line above is
now at $500
million/mile.

12. Achieve 10x energy reliability, become self-reliant.
JPods networks
gather more energy
than is required to
power the networks.
Patent pending energy
storage system.

13. For illustration only. Roads
are not likely to be removed in
most locations.
Reduce real estate use by 10x.

14. Strive to repeat the 10x ROI at Kiva
Similar JPods, Kiva orange robot networks move goods
warehouses. Between 2003-6 Kiva obtained $18.1 million in
capital.
In 2012, Amazon bought Kiva for $775 million.

Example: JPods Networking an Airport Community
24x7, on-demand connections
without traffic risks:
• Terminals
• Hotels
• Car rental
• Parking
• Restaurants
• Convention Centers
• Business Centers
• Trains
Never again risk missing a flight because of traffic.

16. JPods:
• On-demand, JPods
wait for passengers
instead of passengers
waiting for
trains/buses.
• Direct, no
connections.
• 24x7.
• Known travel time.
Connect Mexico City’s Airports and Transition
New airport (NAICM) to Mexico City:
• Mass Transit: 55 minutes, schedule.
• Cars: 54 minutes, variable.
• JPods: 25 minutes, 24x7, no wait time.
Subway
Car
JPods’ Route-Time™ software
calculates travel times based on
customer demands.
