Pickup and Distrobution Facility

With cars taken out of the central retail district in the CBD, large carparking facilities are now without a use or purpose. These structures can now be transformed into pickup and distrobution facilities for the purpose of receiving/sending out goods.

• Allows retailers to recieve and send out stock efficiently via the new PRT transport network that has replaced the old congested road network
• The PRT network has the flexibility to be built directly into these confined spaces, allowing retailers and their customers direct access to the transportation network
• Allows customers to pickup their purchased goods from numerous retailers/businesses at the same time at the same place as where they can catch their own private pod for their trip home, replacing the convenience of the car boot.
