Passenger transport system and method for transporting a passenger

A passenger transport system for transporting a passenger outside a building and relative to the building, the passenger transport system comprising:

• a cabin adapted to accommodate the passenger;
• a transport vehicle adapted to transport the cabin outside the building;
• a first coupling selectively coupling the cabin to the transport vehicle and decoupling the cabin from the transport vehicle;
• a movement device connected to the building and adapted to move the cabin relative to the building on a main movement path and on a secondary movement path that branches off from the main movement path;
• a second coupling selectively coupling the cabin to the movement device and decoupling the cabin from the movement device;
• and
• wherein the secondary movement path accommodates the cabin decoupled from the movement device enabling another cabin to be moved relative to the building on the main movement path.

A method for transporting a person in a cabin, the method comprising steps of:

• coupling the cabin to a transport vehicle and transporting by the transport vehicle the cabin with the person to a building;
• decoupling the cabin with the person from the transport vehicle, coupling the cabin to a movement device connected to the building and moving the cabin by the movement device relative to the building on a main movement path;
• moving the cabin into a secondary movement path wherein the main movement path, from which the secondary movement path branches, remains usable by other cabins;
• the passenger leaves the cabin;
• and
• the cabin remains in the secondary movement path until a next use to transport the passenger or another passenger.
