PRT at Suburbs
Personal Rapid Transit is most suited for high-density areas. As suburbs typically feature a low residential density and low transit demand it is a difficult fit with PRT. 2getthere’s Automated People Mover systems have the advantage that they only require a simple infrastructure, thus minimizing the capital and operational costs and ensuring a system is economically viable sooner.
The PRT system could be installed to function as a feeder system, connecting the neighborhood to an adjacent transportation node. However, for suburbs a Group Rapid Transit system is likely to achieve a better fit with the transport demand characteristics.
