  • Morgantown, WV, in the United States was first. 1970s.

  • Nope, it's not really a PRT, regardless of what they call it. The vehicles are not personal; the service is not truly on-demand; and sometimes it isn't even non-stop. It works reasonably well for the small corridor network that it serves, but would be unable to scale much beyond that. True PRT, in contrast, can scale to mesh networks with hundreds of stations.

  • i see the idea but what about terminal 4?

  • I hope that people look at this as a new way to get around fast and better.
