Personal Rapid Transit - Yes or No?

Vectus Winter PRT Operations PRT is much more than just a different type of vehicle – it is a whole new type of transportation system. As such, it has tremendous potential to solve many of our current transportation problems but, at the same time, it is quite complex and prone to being misunderstood.

On the one hand, we have a few PRT proponents claiming that PRT is the solution to everything while, on the other, some naysayers preach that PRT will never work and is just a Trojan Horse to prevent light rail projects from being built. The truth lies somewhere in the middle, and this section attempts to provide well-reasoned information about PRT.

Providing Credible PRT Information

We have deliberately screened out information about PRT proposed systems and concepts that we find questionable. Links to PRT vendors have been limited to those meeting our stated criteria.

Nonetheless, links or information appearing on this website do not in any way imply our endorsement for the system(s) represented. A system that we endorse for one application may be entirely unsuitable for another. The intent of this section is to provide easy access to information about PRT concepts and systems that we believe are viable.
