Abstract
A nesting passenger vehicle designed to improve access to subways and commuter trains by virtue of its reduced parking area requirements. A short cabin and a V shaped frame permit the vehicle to nest or horizontally stack into other vehicles of the same shape in a manner that requires a small amount of parking space per vehicle. The present invention provides a significant parking density advantage compared to conventional, privately owned automobiles.
