ULTra PRT sustainable transit 2

Again, what a cool concept. You walk to a station, find an empty vehicle waiting for you. You choose your destination and off you go. No other stops and no other passengers to worry about.

No use for this... i have a taxi that come closer to my door than this thing.

Amazing. Imagine these in suburban areas.

If a city had this system how would you pay to go in the pod? I am assuming that you would pay before you went in the pod, but if there were strangers in the pod how would they pay too?Great System I wished our city had it. I could totally see this work in Silicon Valley.

it here!

This wouldn't scale to actual public transit volumes. The space requirements are obviously the same as for cars -- and no one is going to build 6-lane elevated guideways even if those were somehow an improvement over car-oriented land development patterns. The world needs more light rail and subways, not this toy for the rich.

The ideal is high speed, safe attentionless, non-intrusive transportation. The raised track system is safe, attentionless and non-intrusive but perhaps not fast, but would you agree this would be neat if normal cars could be adapted (future model cars) to fit on this track system?

Less pollution!!!

Imagine a city that is completely PRT! A smooth, non-polluted city would help. You would get the vibrancy of a big city and the air of a small town! People could park their cars on the outskirts of the city and take PRT throughout the area. Of course, we would still need the metro in case of congestion. But this would change the world for the better. No more drunk driving, no more road rage, no more hit-and-run, no more road-related accidents!

socialism! egads!
