Noua forma de transport in comun?
Imagine a public transportation system that takes you door to door on demand, like a taxi, but is clean and cheap and doesn’t crowd the streets. That’s the promise of Personal Rapid Transit. In a PRT system, a fleet of small, two- to six-person automated cars, running on a dense network of guideways, provides individual nonstop rides between any two stations.

Sistemul functioneaza deja la scara redusa in Morgantown (West Virginia), Masdar (Abu Dhabi) sau in aeroportul Heathrow din Londra. Implementarea la scara larga, care sa deserveasca un intreg oras, este pe cale sa devina realitate in orasul indian Amistar (provicia Punjab). Estimarile prevad ca sistemul va fi functional in 2014:
