Abstract
A pitless and modular belt-type accelerating moving walkway transit system including at least three substantially identical walkway modules that are leveled and positioned atop a surface such as the ground, floor, road or deck. Each module has an endless belt moving at a different or the same speed wherein the at least three walkway modules are positioned linearly adjacent. Each module having one or more electric motors operably connected to an electrical source and handrails on opposing sides that move in synchrony with the endless belt of the same module.

A pitless and modular belt-type accelerating moving walkway transit system comprising:
- at least three substantially identical walkway modules that are leveled and positioned atop a surface such as the ground, floor, road or deck;
- each module comprising an endless belt moving at a different or the same speed, the at least three walkway modules are positioned linearly adjacent, the endless belt creates a walkway return for each module;
- each module comprising one or more electric motors operably connected to an electrical source and handrails on opposing sides that move in synchrony with the endless belt of the same module.
