<p>The invention relates to a system for transporting and distributing small packages and/or mail envelopes and messages in general using the suburban metropolitan network. The system comprises wagons (1) appropriately conditioned for carrying packages containing sacks and general correspondence or mixed wagons (1') with an area for passengers and another area for packages, which are separated from one another by a transversal intermediate partition (6'). The wagon (1) or wagons (1') are hooked up to the passenger train of the metropolitan transportation network. They then transport packages from one place to another. Sorting stations are available in every train station, either in the tunnel or on the surface. Means of transportation such as conveyor belts are placed between said sorting stations and the wagons on the railway platforms without hampering circulation of passengers. The packages are distributed from said sorting stations by means of a distribution network based on self-propelled light vehicles.</p> |
