This is exactly the main reason I don't get PRT. I like that it addresses the reason why buses/lrt/etc loses out to cars in time because you you're your own "vehicle" and don't spend time waiting for the bus nor transferring. But if we're trying to address congestion, well, most congestion isn't isn't an issue outside of peak commuting times. And PRT by it's very nature can not handle peak commuting times well without doing the exact same things as cars, adding lanes. That is why I would like to see the city of Minneapolis avoid putting money into a project like this.
