An engineering baseline definition is given of an urban fast transit link transportation system consisting of large vehicles riding on rubber tires beneath an enclosed beam. Stations are on-line. Switches are in the track. Vehicles can be entrained. Electric propulsion is used. The system evolved from the French SAFEGE system. (UMTA abstract)
