  Pictures ParkShuttle and CyberCab
ParkShuttle (Rivium)
date pictures: February 8th, 2002
The ParkShuttle drove from 1999 between subway station Kralingse Zoom (Capelle a/d IJssel) and business park Rivium. The pictures were taken in the period that the ParkShuttle is temporarily replaced by a taxi van, so the system can be extended.
