Why is Light Rail being pushed when Personal Rapid Transit (PRT) is:
CHEAPER, (PRT) costs less than 9 million dollars per mile to build and
costs only 15 cents per mile to operate, compared to light rail which costs
40 million dollars per mile and costs 50 cents per passenger mile to
operate.
FASTER, maximum wait 3 minutes?.non stop service?no transfers
BETTER, operates 24 hours a day?.will not interfere with street traffic,
Does not require the sacrifice of a traffic lane?.uses less energy, the
electrical equivalent of 80 miles to the gallon.
SAFER, separated from traffic?.elevated so pedestrians and traffic cannot
collide/no need to wait at empty stops/or the need to ride with strangers
