Man, I remember that thing. With how PAT runs the system, it's best they never built that thing.

@carguy53 A little late but Sound Hound says Variation 16 by yes ALW

Came for Skybus, stayed for the music!
-
The music is from an album called Variations by Andrew Lloyd Webber. It is based on a classical piece of music by Paganini.

They found one of these old cars behind a barn last year, and Bombardier is refurbishing the car (what many years ago, was Westinghouse Transportation). It is going to be placed in front of the System's Division Headquarters in Pittsburgh later this year.
It is nice to see a piece of Pittsburgh history saved and displayed.

Just found this ... thanks so much for posting! I rode on this as a kid, and I remember being intensely disappointed - I thought it was going to be like an amusement park ride for some reason. LOL!
-
The music sounds like it was made with an analog synthesizer, such as a Moog or an ARP.
They built something very similar (if not identical) on the college campus in Morgantown, WV. Even the shuttles look the same.
They call it the PRT (Personal Rapid Transit). The entire system was still in use last time I was there, which was 2005.

Most remarkable in this video is the condition of the track and field. The county ought to be ashamed to the condition it fell into. Hopefully some community effort was made to restore the stadium and grounds to their former glory.

Where did you find the music for this?

This film was made in 1969 - note the sprocket holes. But even back then I was adding music. If I could not find a classical match, I would turn to my teen age son for a popular soundtrack Now, 40 years later, he doesn't remember, either but thinks it might be Andrew Lloyd Weber.
