Naturally similar to the monorail, the innovative FlyWay urban transit system can move people and cargo along fixed beamed aerial pathways.

While Siemens had perfected previous concepts, a Swedish company has taken interest in the idea and pushed the engineering of this alternative transport method to the next level.

It’s a new way to move small groups of people in all sorts of areas, including the different Olympic settings, in Torino.

This innovative unmanned transit system is called the MiniMetro.

It’s a show you can’t miss if you build planes or do business in that industry.

The numbers speak for themselves with roughly half a million people attending this event in just seven days. We’re announcing it here first, on NavSite, because it should already be marked on your agenda, for 2007.

Happy birthday Transport Canada!

Or, should we say “http://www.tc.gc.ca/” to be more precise — this abundant and resourceful public web site has celebrated its 10th year on the web on January 15th, 2006.

The full story is available here.

It’s one thing to create a web site of this scope but it’s another to maintain it daily. More than 8 million visitors came to TC’s web site in 2005 alone.

In their own words, TC looks into the future with these objectives in mind:

“As more Canadians turn to the Internet as a source of information, Transport Canada remains committed to providing accurate, timely, relevant information, tools and services that support business objectives and meet requirements under all relevant policies and standards.”

Let’s hope TC has many more successful years ahead with their web site destined primarily to the general public but also to the T&L industry specialists.
