The Alameda County Board of Supervisors’ Transportation/Planning Committee will be holding a first of its kind, off-sight meeting to learn about an “Ultra Light Rail Transit System in the Alameda County East Bay Region” known as CyberTran. The meeting will be held at the U.C. Berkeley Global Campus in Richmond, where CyberTran International, Inc. has their headquarters and lab.

The meeting is being held in response to the recent action by the BART Board to vote down the extension to Livermore, as the Board of Supervisors looks for an alternative transit system from the Pleasanton BART Station east.

“Alameda County has critical needs when it comes to traffic congestion. We can help,” said Dexter Vizinau, President of CyberTran International.

The solar-powered CyberTran system has been tested including by BART’s engineering department, which determined it can be built for a fourth of the cost of a BART system and operate a fraction of the cost. It can move as many people per hour per direction as BART can through the Bay Tube, which is 17,000 passengers.

During the meeting, the supervisors who serve on the committee will discuss a resolution in support of using the CyberTran system in Alameda County. The agenda for the meeting can be viewed here.

    ULRT is a good idea, but these are NOT the right people to do it:

      This is a made up name and is clearly an attempt to smear the company by a competitor. There is no Steven Buveski not just in Contra Costa County, but in the entire United States. In fact, there are no Buveskis anywhere. This is the second time someone using this fake name has attempted to sully the reputation of this company. Furthermore, the mayor has a prior personal relationship with one of the company employees and seems to be using that as a basis to deride a wonderful solution. There is also the aspect of companies that use costly means for transportation wanting to keep us reliant on them. Perhaps you should use your real name and while your at it, you companies name.
