The invention relates to an automatic transport system based on a network of one-way high-speed-traffic lanes (25, 26, 27, 28) without crossings or red lights, mainly on a pylon (13), dedicated to vehicles capable of operating in an automatic mode in which the driver plays no part in controlling the automotive vehicle. The transport system has stations for the travelers which are different from the entry and exit zones for the vehicles and has high-speed-traffic lanes and service lanes, so that not all of the vehicles are forced to go past the stations and the entry and exit zones.
