Taiwanese inventor, Peng Yu-lun, has designed a non-stop passenger train. It takes a lot of energy to start and stop a moving train due to something called inertia (mass x speed). Awesome! Wait a minute. How do you get people onto a moving vehicle?
That's the beauty of Peng Yu-lun's non-stop MRT system. It uses smaller shuttles to move passengers on and off of the larger one. You don't want to miss this connecting flight.

Trend Themes
1. Non-stop Transit Systems - Innovative transportation solutions that reduce the time wasted on starting and stopping trains by utilizing smaller shuttles to bring passengers on and off will revolutionize commuter experiences.
2. Inertia-reducing Technologies - New methods of reducing the amount of energy used to start and stop trains, such as Peng Yu-lun's MRT system, will help decrease the environmental impact of public transit.
3. Automated Passenger Transfer - Developments in technology that allows for seamless transfers of passengers between stations and moving vehicles will greatly improve the efficiency of transportation systems.
Industry Implications
1. Public Transit - The implementation of non-stop transit systems such as the MRT could drastically improve the efficiency of existing public transport systems.
2. Transportation Infrastructure - Incorporating inertia-reducing technologies in transportation infrastructure design could help mitigate the environmental impact of mass transit systems.
3. Smart City Development - The development of automated passenger transfer technologies can play a vital role in creating more efficient and sustainable smart cities.
