THE X-LINE
The Future of Transportation
What? Designing a shared form of transportation from roof-top to roof-top semi-autonomously.
When? 2 Week-long design sprint.
With Whom? Personal Project.
Tool? Sketch Ideation, Solidworks, Keyshot, Photoshop.
OBJECTIVES
The X-Line is a form of public transportation aimed to combat the constant state of traffic in any major city.
With the expected increase in infrastructure by 2050, our main source of transportation within a city needs to change.
Re-imagining a future where people will be utilizing public transportation in a city environment by traveling in the sky.

RESEARCH
Challenge
Large car use and overpopulation are leading to increased traffic and air pollution in major cities.
The fastest way between two points is a line so traveling that way would be better.
Bringing a shared ecosystem of transportation to the sky semi-autonomously.
Functioning as a hive mind communicating with other sky buses would allow for optimal performance and organization.

Less of this...
More of this
The morning view
The daily commute
IMAGINE THIS...
01 | Wake up and enjoy a morning
cuppa
02 | Go to work by walking up to the roof of your building
03 | Get onto the X-line and fly to work while relaxed because you have all the time in the world due to its efficiency

The chosen direction due to high capacity and structural design.
Early Rhino development and ideation.
