Junctions throughout the systems could also be described as nodes. The junction serves not only to help an individual orientate his journey through the urban infrastructure, but also should offer a seamless transition point, to ease integration of various transport modes into the system. Route direction changes [by means of a transfer vehicle], would be possible at all junctions. An interchange facility close to junctions would provide the mechanism for effective route navigation. The high frequency of transfer vehicles converging at an interchange would help in minimizing delays in changing `lines`. The movie clip shows how a two line junction might look with transfer vehicles servicing mother cars directly from the interchange. Power exchange might occur during the engagement phase noted in the dodgy movie clip. Local feeder buses and taxis could service the immediate neighbourhoods. Where an Amotion is between junctions; transfer vehicles may service neighbourhood centers near main routes.
