Basics
- A Relitively Simple Way to Transport Cargo Fast, from Small to Long Distance
- (Need to dig for info on how it scales)
- Similar to Pipeline Transport , but more versitile
- It is comprable to rail transport in it's versitility
- It also can be very high speed
- Need data on this
- Relitively Simple, as it just uses Pressure Differentials (Can be high pressure on one side (fans+compressors), low pressure on the other side, or both), and Pipe

- The Wikipedia Page on Pnuematic Tube Transport
- A Video on NYC USA's Old Pnuematic Tube Transport System
- Seemed to be phased out due to difficulty in maitenence (due to inacessible buried pipes, easily fixed), and issue scaling with the sprawling city (fixed by smaller cities (see New Urbanism ) )
