PRT Information

Personal Rapid Transit Information

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.

PRT information about concepts and proposed systems that we find questionable has been deliberately screened out. Links to PRT vendors have been limited to those meeting our stated criteria. Nonetheless, links or information appearing on this web site do not in any way imply our endorsement for the system(s) represented. Even a system that we endorse for one application may be entirely unsuitable for another.
