  • Very cool

  • Just look at those nasty gloomy looking buildings! No thanks eurotrash,I love america w/its faults and will never live in a place that looks like the old soviet union!

  • PRT will be the dominant form of human and freight transportation in our cities in the future, it's an efficient, clean, low cost, low noise, transport method.

    Think about not having to stop at traffic lights, concentrate on not having an accident (in a car), parking your car, insuring, buying, putting fuel in your car, just for starters...

    Since we live in a CAPITALIST world, once the mainstream media (ie big business) cottons on to the PRT altenative, it should be a NO brainer.

  • PRT will be one of many transportation tools used in the future. It indeed offers many benefits and is being used and designed primarily for airports and university campuses. The system in Masdar City is innovative and could prompt other cities to implement the technology. Costs at the moment are prohibitive for some and multiple PRT routes are subject to monitoring challenges but advances and economies of scale might make PRT more common place in future transport mixes

  • Instead of PRT, why not have bicycles, they require NO electricity.

  • @KrunchyJD Yeah,how did that bike get to your store where you purchased it? How did the steel get to the factory?How did the iron ore get out of the ground?What about the rubber for your tires?You live in a fantasy land!

  • @cobraman96 However once that bike hits the road, production aside, the fossil fuel energy dependence will cease. You do bring up a good point, it is hard to avoid so called 20th century fueling technologies but that doesn't mean we cannot begin to transition to greener technologies. It won't be overnight but the transition has started and it will continue if we wish to become energy independent and sustainable.

  • @cybr426 Cobraman96 Hates bicycles and bicycle riders, and has invented every lame reason against their use. He has responded to all my suggestions on youtube about getting more bicycles by denigrating it with illogical arguments and or miss represtented everything I have said. He seems to hate bicycles!

  • @KrunchyJD No they just belong on bike trails on not on the hiway!

  • @KrunchyJD Maybe its just eurotrash liberals like you that i hate,You see that be more eurpeon is a liberal thing.We fought to get away from your sorry asses years ago!

  • @cobraman96 What about all the processes required in building a car, what about the steel that came out of the ground to produce that car and the rubber for its tires. The fact remains that the resources required to build a bicycle are far less then a car, and once the bike is built fossil fuel dependence is finished, unlike a car. What is your problem with bicycles?When you dive a car you pollute, when you ride a bike you dont, cars kill, and create oil dependence, or cant you see that.

  • @KrunchyJD Numbnutts<i have two bad knees from working in the same industry for 23 years.The last thing i wanna do is ride a fucking childs toy home after a hards days work.You're entitled to your opinions ,yet you have no right to force your beliefs on everyone else by riding you bike in traffic and slowing everydown and therefore burning more fuel in city traffic!

  • Bicycles are and should be important components of any sustainable transportation system.  Cities like Paris, Barcelona and Madrid are demonstrating the virtues of bike sharing programs and showing that bicycle use can be an attractive and effective form of mobility, even in urban spaces.

  • @Mobilitytomorrow, The thing is though, unlike electric vehicles, bicycles dont require any electricity to power them, just human movement. Any system that is reliant on electric vehicles requires more electricity to be created.

    Bicycles are more effective in urban spaces then any other area, because distances are shorter and space is scarce.

  • @Mobilitytomorrow Further reply, Im not saying your system is bad, its not it is good. Unlike the present system we should use bicycles were we can, and only when we cant use them we should use another system. In otherwords when going from A to B bicycles should be the first option. Indeed, within cities most car trips are single occupant trips, under 5km's. A distance that can be easily undertaken on a bike. Cycling has the added benefit of keeping the country healthy.

  • @KrunchyJD Try riding your lil bike on your next overseas vacation.....

  • @Mobilitytomorrow so why not bike but PRT. PRT still using electricity which currently still come from fuel (perhaps sun at later stage) 5 hr useage at 2 hr recharge? I would like to see how efficient it is in comparison to car all-in-all.

  • Nice!

  • Thanks. Appreciate all of the comments.

  • @Mobilitytomorrow No Problem! :)

  • great video!
