I have a raging boner for personal rapid transit systems. Skytran remains my favorite.

Company's prototype on test track.

 No.150

>$10mil per passenger mile
>1/2 second spacing @80mph
seems highly unlikely. much better to build tried and true rail/bus transit, which is still far better for the environment and cheaper in the long run than cars

The company does claim that it would be a fuckton cheaper to build than a light rail system.

 No.190

>>189
claims of the company trying to advertise a product =/= reality. when they're actually built a significant test system, then I'll be more interested in their figures

 No.191

>>190

They were supposed to build a full scale trial system in Tel Aviv but that never happened…
