	Personal rapid transit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The PRT concept attempts to satisfy the divergent geographic and chronologic requirements of its users by using off-grade guideways, off-line access points, and small, fully-automated vehicles that are too small to encourage unrelated groups of riders.
		Some PRT designers propose "platooning" their vehicles — dynamically-recombining "trains" of vehicles, separated by a few inches, to reduce drag and increase speed, energy efficiency and passenger density.
		If PRT designs ultimately deliver the claimed benefit of being substantially faster than cars in areas with heavy traffic, simulations suggest that PRT might attract significantly higher than the predicted mode switch from private motoring than is the case for other proposed public transit systems (figures between 25% and 60% have been discussed).

	WVU's PRT reaches milestone (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The PRT was the brain child of Samy E.G. Elias, then a WVU Claude Worthington Benedum Professor of Transportation who is now associate dean for research at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s College of Engineering and Technology.
		In 1998, the PRT underwent a $5.2 million computer upgrade and other improvements, most noticeably a paint job transforming the system’s passenger cars from a bland white to Mountaineer blue and gold.
		The cost to ride the PRT is $63 for a four-month pass or 50 cents a ride.

	PRT- Questions & Answers
		PRT needs only about 2 miles of mainline guideway to serve a square mile, so a PRT system reaching every square mile would be only 157.5 miles of guideway— less than 10% of the length of the street system.
		PRT collects you from where you are, transports you along one of many possible routes, and distributes you directly to where you want to go.
		PRT on the other hand can be designed with an option to prevent unmanned travel-- such as a Go button inside the vehicle that must be pressed, after the door closes, before a journey can begin.
