A long distance transit system for transferring passengers at a high rate of speed, the transit system comprises at least one mainline train, at least one station train, a rail system having at least one station with at least one mainline track and at least one station line. At least one mainline train travels exclusively on the at least one mainline track and the at least one station train travels on at least one station line. At least one mainline train travels at a consistent speed on at least one mainline track. At least one station train travels from at least one station to at least one mainline track reaching a speed substantially equal to that of the at least one mainline train and traveling adjacent thereto.

         10 . The transit system of  claim 1  wherein multiple mainline trains travel along the mainline track at substantially equal speeds and are substantially evenly spaced from one another. 
     
     
         11 . The transit system of  claim 1  wherein multiple station trains travel along the station track at substantially equal intervals, the substantially equal intervals comprise a period of rest, a period of acceleration, a period of constant speed, and a period of deceleration.
