Vehicle, system and method for mass transit transportation

A mass transit transportation system, comprising:

• a. an uncontrolled, self-propelled chassis base for transportation along a user selected route;
• b. a controlled chassis base for transportation along a predetermined mass transit route;
• c. a plurality of passenger modules for seating at least one passenger, each of said passenger module being attachable to, and detachable from, a corresponding uncontrolled base or a corresponding controlled base;
• d. a first set of interface devices for releasably connecting, upon demand, one of said passenger modules and one of said uncontrolled bases;
• e. a second set of interface devices for releasably connecting, upon demand, one of said passenger modules and one of said controlled bases;
• and
• f. a plurality of mass transit interchange hubs for interchanging an uncontrolled base and a controlled base, at each of said interchange hubs one of said passenger modules is transferable from one of said uncontrolled bases to one of said controlled bases using said first set of interface devices and from one of said controlled bases to one of said uncontrolled bases using said second set of interface devices.

A modular vehicle, comprising:

• a. an uncontrolled, self-propelled chassis base for transportation along a user selected route;
• b. a passenger module for seating at least one passenger attachable to, and detachable from said base;
• c. a set of interface devices releasably connecting said passenger module and said uncontrolled base;
• and
• d. passenger adjustable propulsion means and steering means,
• wherein said passenger module is detachable from said uncontrolled base at an interchange hub and is transferable to a controlled chassis base for transportation along a predetermined mass transit route.
