ULTra (Urban Light Transport) is an innovative form of Personal Rapid Transit (PRT) which emerged from a fundamental reappraisal of the transport needs of a city. The ULTra system consists of small, lightweight, computer-driven electric vehicles running on slender, special-purpose guideways.

ULTra offers numerous advantages over conventional road and rail public transit systems, including:

* Low capital and operational costs
* Flexible routing
* 24-hour availability
* On-demand service, with no transfers
* Greater privacy
* Zero on-site emissions
* Extremely low overall energy use
* Minimal visual and acoustic impacts

Conventional forms of public transit require passengers to collect in groups, wait until a large vehicle with a fixed schedule arrives, and travel on a predetermined route stopping for additional passengers on the way. In contrast, ULTra offers personal transport with no waiting, and takes passengers non-stop to their chosen destination.

  • Mass transit needs this 'dense penetration' to compete with the 'user friendly' car,

    and to reduce climate change!

  • Looks really good. How much does it cost to use this at Heathrow? I will be flying soon and would like to try it out just for fun...
