A journey on the Heathrow Pod from Station A to Terminal 5.

The Heathrow Pod is a "personal rapid transit" system developed by ULTra. Pods run on demand between Terminal 5 of London Heathrow Airport (LHR) and two stations in the business car park.

Select your destination - either Station A, Station B or Terminal 5 - using the touch screen and a Pod will head your way. When it arrives, get in, close the doors, press the start button and you're off.

This is the first public installation of this type of personal rapid transit system anywhere in the world. Is it the future of transit? I hope so!

  • THE FUTURE

  • I hope that heathrow airport extend the heathrow pods to more area around the airport soon.

  • Never seen, thanks for sharing! :)

  • What a great way to get about.....and the passenger is in control of the destination. Seems ideal for sprawling complexes like Heathrow.

    An excellent video.
