A local inner city resident is one of the thousands of inner-city residents who don't own a car
She is able to ride the monorail from the valley to the CBD and decides to buy some new clothes at a couple of stores in the centre.
After buying a couple of garments at more than one retailer, she decides to buy some groceries on her way out.
While making her purchases she had the retailers send her garments down to customer pickup where they will be stored until she is ready to collect them and head home.
At the supermarket, a phone app (supplied by the supermarket chain) is used to scan the QR codes of the items she wants.
The items are automatically charged to her bank account, before the supermarket staff prepare her grocery order and transport it down to the pickup area
On her way out of the centre, she collects her purchases from pickup, and heads to the nearest pod platform.
A pod is charging and waiting at a berth. The destination is entered via the touch screen kiosk and the glass doors open
A "close door" button is pressed inside the pod after entering and sitting, which signals the pod to close up and reverse out of the berth before driving out.
