PRT Rationale

Each form of transportation has its’ own niche. For every application there should be a match between the specifics of the application and the characteristics of the transportation system – there is simply no transportation system that can solve every transportation problem (please also refer to concept-applicability).

Personal Rapid Transit (PRT) is a sustainable form of (public) transit which is very suitable for specific applications. There are general advantages to PRT-systems and specific advantages to 2getthere’s CyberCab PRT system. A distinction is made between the advantages for the real estate development / community and the advantages to passengers.
