A platform door system is disclosed. The platform door system has: a platform data transmitting element positioned on a platform for transmitting a platform signal; a vehicle information integrating element, positioned on a vehicle adjacent to the platform, for receiving the platform signal and a vehicle signal corresponding to a door opening or closing status of the vehicle door from the vehicle, and for transmitting a platform-vehicle integration signal; and a platform door controlling element, positioned on the platform, for receiving the platform-vehicle integration signal and for opening or closing a platform door in response to the platform-vehicle integration signal to correspond to the opening-or-closing status of the vehicle door.

A multi-rail express transit system for allowing the passengers to travel at desired speed/distance, is disclosed. The system comprises a centralized control system, at least three closed loop parallel rails, and at least three sequence of transit cars. Each sequence of transit car is supported by the respective rail. The transit cars are configured to move in same direction at different speeds. The control system is configured to synchronize the speed of transit cars at desired point to allow transference of passengers. A bellow assembly is disposed around an exterior side of a door of each transit car. The bellow assembly is configured to form an airtight passageway between at least two transit cars. Each transit car comprises a movable floor. The movable floor of one transit car is extendable to a floor of an adjacent transit car to facilitate passenger transference on forming the airtight seal.
