it is a good idea and whoever thinks other wise is a fucking retard. The future is coming bitches, lets try and make the best of it.

Avidor, you're right that PRT is a nonpartisan, common-sense idea that is able to get everyone on board--even people who traditionally oppose transit. What's the problem with that?

I, for one, have been saddened that countless transit projects (including light rail in MN in the 1970s) couldn't get off the ground because of widespread opposition. Any innovation that can change the mind of the naysayers and get them, together with people of all political stripes, to support transit is GREAT.

it's better to just built a rapid transit system.

pretty shitty animations...

I live here in sunny Brisbane...

It SOUNDS like a good idea BUT here in Brisbane they MUST improve on the current system. Such as here the trains run every 30min where in Perth they run every 15min (population is 50% less there)....

I do not travel allot and I have look at most of the PRT web sites.

i just googled these 4 phrases:

"innovative transportation"

"ultra prt"

"vectus prt"

"skyweb express prt"

and just like that, you have the most up-to-date info. you should be able to ride the heathrow installation next year.

There should be a web sit that has the most up to date stuff on the latest on the PRT systems. Most info is not currant nothing is updated. Where is the test track that people can ride and touch to see if it can make it. anything on paper just looks good.

PRT is a great system. I just don't understand what naysayers like Avidor and pippicat (who may be the same person) have against it. (Unless maybe they are part of the auto industry or light rail manufacturers.)

I support light rail and buses, but they have yet to make a dent in car ridership even in the areas where they are most fully developed. When PRT is finally implemented despite the opposition of naysayers and special interests, it will help extend the reach of transit.

[cmfsharp]

I read all the entire page you linked to, and I didn't find any evidence refuting its 98% availability. However, there were a few complaints common to both rail and bus (doesn't run when or where you need it), both of which could be addressed much more efficiently by a system running small vehicles on demand.
