The PRT system in Morgantown may not be as nice, but remember it was one of the first functional systems since the mid-70's. Give the old girl her props!!!
-
Also maybe you could put another prt underneath the same track just for emergency services so they wont get in any traffic.
-
I agree they should be close to the ground incase of an earthquake. These will get rid of trains also which are dangerous. Why do u need trains for anyhow? On rails PRT's surely could run alot faster & could take u straight to an airport.
-
One question, how do they know another vehicle is close as not to crash?
-
This is great but why do u need wheels for? I think it would be better on rails so to save resources as the wheels & the roads may need replacing.

And the job I mentioned late in my post is the maintenance of the PRT. Compared to the public transportation we have today a PRT system would be able to carry much more people. For example the WVU PRT carries 11,600 people compared to the buses which carries only 5,000-6,000 people.

@derekcsy90 Soon there will be too many people for the public transportation we have today. So this will be more practical. There will be job opportunities for poor people which will increase the number of tax payers. Besides the way to help poor people is to employ them not give them free money. So I will not be too surprised if I find these in cities around 2020-2040 because people will be able to get to their jobs faster and the people who need money have a job they can do for a living.

@rocketplumber but they goes directly to destination, which means you don't need to wait for other passangers to enter or exit the car. Which is a large bonus. Enter and exit takes time, and slow down the average speed from start to end of your trip. Because you don't need to be standing in lights and car queues, it's actually faster than a car during day.

But it looks like only Vectus can handle snow and ice. Which is important in all Europe, as been shown now.

These are so much nicer than the ones at WVU!

Most modern PRT systems currently do 25 to 35mph (40 to 56kph). Since trips are all non-stop, their average speed approximates their maximum speed. Other transit with a maximum speed of 55mph (88kph) averages under 20mph (32kph) if it stops every mile (1.6km). The tortoise beats the hare! And the tortoise will get faster in time.
