PRT vs. Light Rail
http://www.pigtran.com/PRTvsLightRail.html
Comparison of PRT and Light Rail. Stops at every station. Little or no waiting. (Cars wait for riders.). Longer waiting. (Riders wait for trains.). Waiting stops wastes 30% of time. Stations every 1/2 mile or less. Fewer stations; add’l transport required. Ride when you want, with whom you want, directly to where you want to go. Ride when the schedule allows, with strangers and a bunch of stops. Energy efficient and no fossil fuels. Inefficient, especially with low ridership. Less noise and no pollution.
