A mass transit system utilizing buoyant craft intermittently propelled by water jets that are activated when craft are in dose proximity, within interconnected sections of "U" shaped canals/channels that can be pre-manufactured and delivered via heavy truck. Individual craft can be directed by rider via interactive signage along route or if empty by computer via sensors in canal walls. Bar code readers track craft location at all times. Water in canals is recirculated with pumps that pull water from the area just in front of direction of craft movement, thus creating a temporary fast moving forward water motion. Merge points similar to a freeway entrance ramp are made possible by hydraulic wheel guides that are activated when the rider chooses course. Embarking and disembarking stations at various points can be entered or exited without traffic stops. Adjustable safety bar at each seat.
