PRT for Houston


Recommended Posts

Personal Rapid Transit (PRT) is a long bandied about, but oft dismissed form of transportation. Many potential systems are out there, but only a few sad, disappointing examples are in operation across the globe. The promise of mass-transit service with car-like privacy is grand.

 

Why has PRT been so slow to gain traction?

 

Will the driverless car usher in the age of PRT? After all, why would any average citizen need to own a car any longer (and pay for gas, insurance, maintenance, etc.)  if a fleet of autonomous taxis is driving every street in America?

 

Will PRT become the future or will it always remain a vision?
