ULTra PRT sustainable transit

you don't go to an airport to vandalise stuff. i think they'll be alright in heathrow, as long as there are enough of them

And how are they going to ensure that interiors (and even exteriors) don't get vandalised?

élo stesso dell'auto.

Però se vanno ad elettricità sono OK.

Well, for those who are complaining about pricetag..

Prototypes are expensive, live with it... More cities should spend on this system and then things will be easier...

I can see NYC getting something like this.. Come on Bloomberg..

Yeah, there's a momentum/early-adopter issue where the more competing proposals and companies there are, the more attractive a PRT system becomes - not just on cost but performance too.

Just look at how far it's come in the last five years - back then there were only a few startups with zero media attention, and they were struggling even to get a test track. Now we are seeing cities willing to consider some serious use-cases, even fairly large ones. Hopefully the 2010's will be the PRT decade.

The music in the background is called "2 Drax 2 Drive".

I like the concept of this, it's simple, it works, convinient by the looks of it, nice one :D 5/5 Peace.

Actually it's $10-$15 million per mile.

I live arount the corner from Heathrow - I don't recall seeing anything like this.

It connects the multi-story car park at T5 with the business car park at the extreme NW corner of the airport. Drive around the Western Perimeter Road and you'll see it.

wow... isn't that like... about 1 mile per minute which is like just under 60 MPH? That's pretty fast
