Abstract
A transportation system in which cars having cargo containers are driven along tracks. Access to a car's cargo container is provided via a door on the car which is moved by a door drive system carried on the car. In the exemplary case of a remote bank teller transportation system, a car moves between two terminals in which the car and the car door are orientated vertically 'right side up' in one terminal and 'upside down' in the other terminal. The door drive system serves to move the door downwardly for both orientations of the car.
