Personal Rapid Transit (PRT)

Posted on: March 31st, 2011

There has been an increasing interest in expanding PRT Systems in more metro areas; a concept that has been around more than 50 years.

It’s already being utilized at Heathrow Airport in London and Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates.

The United States does not currently have a PRT system anywhere but the three foreign manufacturers of this technology would like to open plants in the US to build such systems.
